Hdd: Advanced - Swann PRO-SERIES HD Instruction Manual

HDD: Advanced

This function allows you to configure a quota on the hard drive for each
camera that is connected to the DVR. Each camera can be allocated a
certain amount of space that is available on the hard drive. The advan-
tage of this is that you can allocate more hard drive space to cameras
monitoring a high traffic area and decrease space to cameras monitor-
ing less frequented areas.
Mode:
The default selection is "Quota". Select "Group" if you have mul-
tiple hard drives installed, so you can instruct the DVR on which drive
each camera can record to.
Camera:
Select the camera you want to change.
Max. Record Capacity (GB): Select in gigabytes the space you want to al-
locate, for example 50 gigabytes for camera 1, 50 gigabytes for camera
2. The free quota space will decrease each time an allocation is made.
Record on HDD Group:
In Group mode, select which camera is allocated
to hard drive 1 or 2 (if you have multiple hard drives installed).
Enable HDD Sleeping: This function is only applicable if you have mul-
tiple hard drives installed. As the default mode of capture is Motion De-
tection, both hard drives are not required to run when no events have
been detected. Having this option enabled will reduce wear and tear and
will increase the overall lifespan.
