To configure for overwrite when the HDDs are full:
1. Click the Video Schedule icon in the menu toolbar.
2. Select More Settings.
3. Under Overwrite, select Yes.
Using an external recording device
You can use an external storage device, such as an eSATAN HDD, to backup video or
to add its recording capacity to that of the recorder itself. If you change this option, you
must reboot the recorder to implement the change.
To define how the external recording device is used:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Video Schedule > More Settings.
2. Under eSATA, select one of the two options:
Record and Capture: Extend the recording capacity of the recorder.
Export: Backup data onto an eSATA backup device.
Note: If the external storage device is part of the total internal capacity of the
recorder, then it is no longer available for backing up video.
3. Click Apply.
Configuring recording schedules
Configuring a recording schedule lets you specify when the recorder records video and
under what circumstances. Each camera can be configured to have its own recording
schedule.
The schedules are visually presented on a map for easy reference. See Figure 33
below for an example.
