following this section.
Alarm Release – this turns off any disk alarm that may be occurring.
HDD Setting - When you have multiple drives installed, you can designate which drive is the
primary and which is secondary. Multiple drives may be assigned to the same group
which means that the NVR will continue writing onto the next drive in the group after
the first one is filled before going back and overwriting old records on the first.
O Drive is operating normally.
X Indicates an error
- Hard drive not installed
? Hard drive is damaged
HDD Channel - If you have more than one
hard drive installed in your NVR, you
can determine which drive video and
still images are recorded on. Clicking
HDD Channel will open a new
window with three tabs: Main Stream,
Extra Stream (the lower bandwidth
video used for remote monitoring)
and Snap Picture (the still images
captured with the Snapshot function.
Within each tab, you can set the
destination for each channels’ output.
No changes will take place unless the Execute button is pressed once you’ve made your
selection. The drive’s status will be displayed next to the Type heading below the pull-downs.
If you make changes and press Execute, the NVR will restart once you press OK to exit. You
cannot right-click out of the menu.
