4.8.3 Storage Settings

You can configure the settings of the connected hard disk drive.
STORAGE STATUS: Display the total size and space usage of the hard drive.
STORAGE MANAGEMENT: This option allows you to format the hard disk. For details,
see 3.6 Formatting Hard Drive.
RECYCLING: If the option is enabled, the system will either write the data to another
device or overwrite the oldest recorded files when the disk space is lower than the
specified space limit. If the option is disabled, the system will stop recording when the
specified space limit is reached.
CAPACITY WARNING: Specify the space limit to be warned about. The space limit
options include 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 G, 2 G and 5 G.
KEEP DAYS: Specify the days to store the files from 1 day to 255 days. When both Keep
days and Enable Recycle are selected, the system applies whichever condition comes
first. For example, if the specified smallest amount of storage space comes earlier than
the designated keep days, then recycle is applied first.
Note:
1. If RECYCLING is enabled, the available space of the hard disk must be higher than
the space you specified at the CAPACITY WARNING option. Otherwise no video will
be recorded.
2. When the disk is full, the Disk Full / Fault LED on the front panel will turn on and the
information of hard disk status on the top right of the screen will turn to red.
