Storage Setup
Storage Capacity Guidelines
Rev 2.00
You can install up to two IDE hard disk drives in the HRDVS.
Note
If you add an additional drive, or upgrade system drive(s) after the initial
system configuration, the storage system must be re-formatted. This results in
permanent loss of data such as recorded video, audio, and text.
This chapter describes how to:
•
Calculate required disk space
•
Calculate how many hours the disk will record
•
Calculate event space required
•
Configure storage setup
•
View current hard drive capacity
Note
The HRDVS does not support removable media such as a disk drive or
CD-ROM. To externally archive video you must use Remote Access Software
(RAS). See
Enabling Remote
Use the following table as a guideline when setting up the storage system and the capture
