No.:
Indicates the HDD No pre-seted by system.
Status: This will be available only when the HDD has been formatted.
Total Space – Total size of the hard drive installed. ( 8 CH DVR = 500 GB
16 CH DVR = 500GB )
Free Space – Total amount of free space available on the hard drive.
Useable Rec. Time – Free space available given in hours.
Auto-overwrite – When set to ENABLE the DVR will record over the oldest files on the hard drive. The DVR will
always be able to record events as they happen, however, it does means that you’ll need to get important events
off the HDD before they’re overwritten; if overwrite is set to DISABLE the DVR will stop recording once the DVR
is full. Whilst you will not lose any old footage, you do run the risk of missing new events as they happen.
Be sure you want to do this before selecting it.
HDD Format – Formatting the HDD will erase all data (i.e. footage) which is stored on it, and re-create the FAT
(file allocation table).
Note: It is an important first step when configuring your DVR to make sure that the hard drive (HDD) options are
correctly set. We strongly suggest that you format the HDD before you start the first recording.
