10.1 – MANAGING THE HARD DRIVE
The hard drive is a semi-permanent storage device necessary for the DVR to
record video and audio input from the cameras.
The SATA hard drives available for the DVR are specially designed to withstand
the rigorous demands of continuous recording.
The 9104V DVR can support up to a 1 TB SATA hard drive.
See Section 3.1 for installing a hard drive.

10.1.2 – OVERWRITE
With Overwrite
enabled
, when the hard drive runs out of space to record, the DVR will
return to the oldest file first and begin overwriting files.

Important Note! If overwrite is enabled, it is imperative to back up files regularly. Once a
file has been overwritten, neither Zmodo technical support nor the manufacturer can assist
in recovering the overwritten file.

point, it will be necessary to enable overwrite, replace the hard drive, or format it.

must be completed before recording of video files.
