The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to record over the oldest video once
the disk is full.
Your DVR supports disk mirroring functions to prevent any unexpected loss of recorded video data that might be caused
by disk damage or corruption.
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video
.
Your DVR can be used to monitor video from network video transmitters and/or network cameras, record monitored
video and play back recorded video.
You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via Ethernet. There is an eSATA port that can be
used to record video or archive to external hard disk drives, and there are two USB ports that can be used to upgrade
the system or copy video clips to external hard disk and flash drives.
