Storage management
This chapter describes how to handle HDDs.
Initializing HDDs
The in-built HDD must be initialized before it can be used. You can also re-initialize the
HDD. However, all data on the HDD will be destroyed.
To initialize an HDD:
1. From the menu toolbar, click System Settings > HDD.
2. Select the HDD to be initialized.
3. Click the Init button to begin initialization.
After the HDD has been initialized, the status of the HDD changes from Abnormal to
Normal.
Controlling disk storage mode on the HDD
You can allocate on an HDD the maximum permitted storage and snapshot capacities
from each camera.
