USER MANUAL
Disk Type:
Read-write, read-only, and redundant.
Read-write mode is the normal status for a HDD to save recording or search recording to play.
To prevent important video data from being overwritten during cyclic recording, the HDD can be
set as Read-only mode. New recording will be not able to save into this read-only HDD. You can
still search recording from this read-only HDD to play.
A HDD can be used to automatically backup video footage on the recording
Redundant
(read-write) hard drive. When a redundant HDD is set, the system can be set to record cameras in
parallel to both the recording hard drive and the redundant hard drive in case of hard drive failure.

5.5.1.1 Disk Group

If your DVR supports to install multiple HDDs, you can configure the HDD to be different groups.
HDD groups allow you to balance recordings across multiple hard drives. For example, you can
record channels 1~4 to one hard drive and 5~8 to a second hard drive. This can reduce the
amount of wear on the hard drives and may extend the life of the hard drives.
