You cannot save any files to an HDD if in Read-only mode. If you want to save
files you must change the properties to R/W (Read/Write).
If there is only one HDD installed and it is set to Read-only, the DVR cannot
record any files. Only preview mode is available.
If you set the HDD to Read-only whilst the DVR is saving files, then the file
will be saved in the next R/W HDD. If there is only one HDD available, the
recording will be stopped.
