Device: S.M.A.R.T.
Whole Evaluation not passed, continue to use the disk:
If for some rea-
son the hard drive has developed a fault (such as one or more bad sec-
tors), you can instruct your DVR to continue saving to the drive.
Self-check Type:
There are three types available:
Conveyance:
This is a very quick test that verifies the mechanical parts
of the hard drive are working.
Short:
This test verifies major components of the hard drive such as
read/write heads, electronics and internal memory.
Long:
This is a longer test that verifies the above as well as performing
a surface scan to reveal problematic areas (if any) and forces bad sector
relocation.
When performing a test, your DVR will continue to work as normal.
In most circumstances, the information here will not be needed for gen-
eral use of your DVR, however one of our Swann Helpdesk & Technical
Support staff may ask you to access this if you call for assistance.

available) to detect po-
tential drive errors.
