valid video can be presented. Fast forwarding through the 30 minutes of video will
reduce the amount of pause time. It is not recommended to swap drive between old
and new systems, as the results during playback will not be as intended. The drives are
easily identifiable as to which DVRs they belong to by the color of the face of the Hard
Drive and the DVR or the Viewing Station. Black was used for earlier versions of the
DVRs; Blue is used for this system.

to mark the physical beginning and ending of the drive. This is shown as the REI
Splash Page. Reference Figure 15.
