Disk - Grundig GU-RN-AC8104P User Manual

5.6.1 Disk

This menu allows you to check & configure the internal HDD(s). You need to format the HDD only at
the first startup and if you replace a new HDD.
Format HDD: Select the HDD you want to format and then click Format HDD. To start formatting, you
need to enter your user name and password and then click OK to confirm to continue formatting.
Overwrite: Use this option to overwrite the old recordings on the HDD when the HDD is full. For
example, if you choose the option 7 days then only the last 7 days recordings are kept on the HDD.
To prevent overwriting any old recordings, select OFF. If you have disabled this function, please
check the HDD status regularly, to make sure the HDD is not full. Recording will be stopped if HDD is
full.
Record on ESATA: This menu only displayed when your NVR is coming with an e-SATA port on the
rear panel. It will allow to record the video to external e-SATA HDD to enhance your HDD capacity. If
the e-SATA recording function is enabled, e-SATA backup function will be disabled.
If your NVR supports to install multiple HDDs, the edit icon appears in your system, you can click
it to edit the HDD as below:
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 Redundant HDD can be used to automatically backup video footage on the recording (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.
