1PREPARING FOR USE The internal hard disk

Hard disk recording areas

When the digital video recorder is turned on, recording areas are automatically setup within the internal hard disk (with the default settings being normal recording area: 80%, alarm recording area: 19%, and archive area: 1%). When the [REC/STOP] button is pressed, this digital video recorder starts recording video data in the normal recording area. When an alarm occurs, the corresponding video data is recorded in the alarm recording area.
