NVR User’s Manual
Device: HDD
In this menu you can view and configure the internal HDD, that the NVR uses for saving the reocrdings. You will see the
state, free/total space and free recording time information concerning the HDD.
If you start up the NVR for the first time, you need to format the HDD.
NOTE
: Make sure you are not formatting an HDD that has already data on it, unless you want to delete the previous
data.
• Format HDD/Format USB
: First you need to select the HDD for formatting. Check the
Select
check-box. A warning
message appears on screen, asking your confirmation to delete all data on the disk after formatting. Click
OK
.
Wait until the HDD is formatted. For example, formatting a 500GB HDD will take about 1-2 minutes. When the
formatting is complete, a notification appears on the screen. Click
OK
.
• Overwrite
: Use this option to overwrite the old recordings on the HDD. The old recordings are measured in days.
For example, if you set the overwrite option to 1 day, then the NVR overwrites one day file at a time (the oldest
file will be deleted). If you set the overwrite to 7 days, then the NVR will overwrite 7 day files at a time (oldest file
will be deleted). If you set
Auto
overwrite option
,
then if your current recording requires 3 days of HDD space,
then the oldest 3 days recording will be overwritten. To prevent overwriting any old recordings, select
Disable
. If
you have disabled this function, please check the HDD status regularily, to make sure the HDD is not full.
