Note:
• When an unformatted hard disk drive is installed in
the recorder, it will automatically be formatted as the
normal recording area. However, when the hard disk
drive that had been used not as the normal record-
ing area is removed (Refer to the Installation guide.)
and an unformatted hard disk drive is installed as a
replacement, the newly installed hard disk drive will
be formatted as the same recording area as the
removed one.
• Recording/playback is unavailable even if only the
pre-event recording area or the copy area is creat-
ed. Either the normal recording area or the event
recording area shall be created.
• When there is no normal recording area, images/
audio recorded by manual recording and the sched-
ule recording will be stored in the event recording
area. When there is no event recording area, imag-
es/audio recorded by the event recording and the
emergency recording will be stored in the normal
recording area.
Configure the settings relating to the hard disk drive on the disk configuration page.
It is possible to format the hard disk drive, and check the total capacity and the capacities of each recording area
on the disk configuration page.
