Hard Disk Recording Areas

zWhen the recording area settings are changed, the disk is initialized and all current recordings are erased. It is important, therefore, to store recorded video on a PC or some other storage media before modifying recording areas.

„Recording area allocations

The highest possible allocation for the normal recording area and the alarm recording area is 99%.

The allocation for the archive area cannot be set manually.This allocation will be automatically set to at least 1%.

„If the normal recording area is set to 0%

If set to 0%, it will not be possible to record video to the normal recording area. As video will only be recorded to the alarm recording area in this type of case, the area allocations should be reviewed and set accordingly.

zIf the normal recording area is set to “0%”, the [PLAY/ STOP] button will be deactivated. In such a case, search playback should be carried out.

zA maximum of 16,000 alarm recordings can be made on one hard disk. If hard disk expansion is carried out, this number can be increased to 32,000. Note, however, that menu settings and display content will have an effect on the maximum number of recordings that can be made in reality.

zWhen the normal recording area is set to “*0%” Alarm recording can be performed for as long as space is left in the alarm recording area.

When searching for video, this area can be searched in the same way as the normal recording area using time/ date searches, fast-forward play, and fast-reverse play. Alarm search, alarm thumbnail search, motion detection search, and alarm skip will not be available.

Example:

Setting the normal recording area to 50% and the alarm recording area to 49%

1 Turn the jog dial to select the “NORMAL RECORDING AREA”, and then turn the shuttle dial clockwise.

“80%” flashes.

2 Turn the jog dial to set “NORMAL RECORDING AREA” to 50%, and then turn the shuttle dial clockwise.
