5.5.2 S.M.A.R.T
This function can be used to display the technical information of the hard drive installed in your
WIRELESS NVR. You can also perform a test (there are three types available) to evaluate and
detect potential drive errors.
Whole Evaluation not passed, continue to use the disk:
If for some reason the hard drive has
developed a fault (such as one or more bad sectors), you can instruct your WIRELESS NVR to
continue saving to the drive.
Self-check Type:
There are three types available:
Short:
This test verifies major components of the hard drive such as read/write heads,
electronics and internal memory.
Long:
This is a longer test that verifies the above as well as performing a surface scan to
reveal problematic areas (if any) and forces bad sector relocation
Conveyance:
This is a very quick test that verifies the mechanical parts of the hard drive are
working.
Note: When performing a test, your WIRELESS NVR will continue to work as normal. If a HDD
S.M.A.R.T error is found, the HDD can continue to be used, but there will be a risk of losing
recorded data. It is recommended to consult your installer and get a new HDD.
