7. Recording Configuration
It is possible to record and search the video data sent from camera if the
FlexWATCH Server is equipped with a hard disk drive. Recording
configuration is available only when a hard drive is up and running in the
server. You can format the hard drive, check the information of the drive,
and set the recording conditions of motion detection and event.
Some versions of FlexWATCH network cameras (FW1170-VO/FW1173-
DS/FW1173-MS/FW1173-FS/FW1174-VC/FW1174-MC/FW1175-DS/FW1175-
MS/FW1175-FS/FW1176-DS/FW1176-MS/FW1176-FS) have microSD slots on the back. Those models
can record video if microSD card is present in the slot, which supports 1GB to 32GB.
7.1. HDD Configuration
If the HDD is not installed yet, turn off the FlexWATCH Server by using the power switch located on
back or front panel. Install the hard drive in the FlexWATCH Server, and turn the power back on. Now
on your PC’s web browser, connect the FlexWATCH Server with a proper IP address, and enter the
server as admin.
Click Recording Configuration.
Click HDD Information to see whether it is in a formatted condition.
If HDD Information window displays all the fields as -None-, that means the hard drive is not in a
formatted condition. To start formatting, click Back button to go back to the previous menu, and
then click HDD Status & Format.
The list of hard drives will be displayed with the format status. Click on the one you’d like to format.
Note: Before attaching a hard disk drive, make sure the FlexWATCH Server is turned off.
Otherwise, the hard drive may get defected. Also check if the hard drive you’re
installing is in the list of usable hard drive since an unlisted hard drive may not
function properly.
