Formatting disks

Pre-event recording area formatting

Use the following procedure to format a pre-event recording area. Pre-event recording area space can be allocated for each camera channel.

• Formatting the pre-event recording area may take around 10 minutes depending on the number of cameras.

Important:

•When the "Config" page is displayed, all operations (recording, playback, etc.) except disc configuration stop.

•Displaying the config window forcibly logs out any other users currently logged in to the main unit. Also installing or removing HDD or HDD units from the front panel forcibly logs out any other users logged in to the main unit.

•To exit the disk config window, click the [Main] button. Clicking the [x] button in the upper right corner of the window may cause operation troubles.

•Before formatting the pre-event recording area, set the camera channels for pre-event recording area as follows.

⋅Set the Model/Compression, address, user name, and password on [NW camera].

⋅Set the pre-event recording rate and pre-event recording time on [Program]

After finishing the settings, connect a camera and make sure an image is displayed.

You may not be able to record data at the time you want if you connect a camera that is not set and format the pre-event recording while an image is not displayed.

•Pre-event recording formatting cannot be done during RAID5/RAID6 operation with just the recorder. You need to connect an extension unit to set up pre-event recording in a RAID configuration.
