1.2.7 Expandable IDE Hard Disk Architecture

All the other HDD-based digital video recorders support only 1-4 hard disks. If those recorders do support more hard disks, they usually use RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks) or SCSI disks, which are very expensive. With the Expandable IDE Hard Disk Architecture, the EDR1600 can support up to 18 pieces of IDE hard disks that are hot swappable. With 40 GB of storage per hard disk, the system storage is more than 700 GB and virtually unlimited – no more redundant backup required.

1.2.8 Non-editable Recorded Images

The retrieved images are saved as .MPG files or .MOV files, which can be played by Media Player or QuickTime. Therefore, those files are editable by the video editing packages, just like the recorded images in the other digital video recorders. However, the recorded images in the hard disks are not editable by the video editing packages. (They even cannot be seen by those packages.) That is to say, the recorded images are guaranteed to be the original images.
