The ﬁles will be saved with the following naming format:

SN_CH(channel number)_TYPE_TIME(Year, Month, Date, Hour, Minute, Second)

Therefore, a ﬁle shown on the DVR as being a regular record (R), being recorded on 01/04/11 starting at

2:00:00 would have a ﬁle name of:

1_01_R_010411020000.avi

The Year Date Month format is the same as you have set in the General interface. Save ﬁles in the .AVI

format for easy playback on most computers. The .DAT ﬁles can be played back or converted to .AVI

format using the software included on the CD accompanying this DVR.

FORMATTING A USB DRIVE IN FAT32

To format a USB ﬂash drive with FAT32, plug it into a PC running Windows XP or later. Go to My

Computer to locate the drive’s icon. Right click on it and select Format in the list of available options.

Select FAT32 and check the box marked Quick Format before clicking Start.

For USB drives over 32GB in size, you should use a FAT32 format utility such as those available through

CNET.com.

On a Macintosh computer, you will need to reformat the USB ﬂash or external hard drive using the Disk

Utility app located in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. Connect your drive to a USB port

on the Mac and it should appear in the list on the left of the window.

Select your drive from the list, making sure that it

is highlighted before proceeding.

In OSX 10.6, you can set the format to MS-DOS

(FAT) in the Erase tab. In OSX 10.7 or later, you

will use the Partition tab.

Click the Apply or Erase button, depending on

your system, to reformat the USB drive

IMPORTANT! Reformatting a drive will erase ALL data on the drive!
