Protecting Recorded Files - Interlogix TruVision DVR 12 User Manual

Protecting recorded files

There are two methods to prevent recorded files from being inadvertently
overwritten or deleted off the HDD. We highly recommend that important
recorded events be protected from deletion. Recorded files can either be locked
or the HDD that the files reside on can be set to read only.
