12.3.2 Setting HDD Property

Purpose
The HDD property can be set to redundancy, read-only or read/write (R/W). Before setting the
HDD property, please set the storage mode to Group (refer to step1-4 of Chapter 12.3.1 Setting
HDD Groups).
A HDD can be set to read-only to prevent important recorded files from being overwritten when the
HDD becomes full in overwrite recording mode.
When the HDD property is set to redundancy, the video can be recorded both onto the redundancy
HDD and the R/W HDD simultaneously so as to ensure high security and reliability of video data.
Step 1 Go to Menu > HDD > General.
Step 2 Select HDD from the list and click the icon to enter the Local HDD Settings interface,
as shown below.

Step 5 In the HDD Information menu, the HDD property will be displayed in the list.
At least 2 hard disks must be added on your DVR when you want to set a HDD to Redundancy, and
there is one HDD with R/W property.
