If your NVR supports to install multiple hard disks and more than 1 hard disk is installed in your NVR, the
edit button
will be appear in your system, you can click it to edit the HDD as below:
Disk Type: You can set the hard disk to be Read
Write, Read Only, or Redundant.
Read Write mode is the normal status for an HDD
to save recordings or search recordings to play. If all
the installed hard disks are set to Read Write mode,
the NVR will save recordings to the hard disks
sequentially.
To prevent important video data from being
overwritten during cyclic recording, the hard drive
disk can be set as Read Only mode. New recordings will be not able to save into this read only disk. You
can still search recording from this read only disk to play.
Redundant hard disk can be used to save the recordings same as what is saved to Read Write hard disk(s).
When a redundant disk is set, the system can save recording in parallel to both the Read Write hard disk
and the redundant hard disk in case of hard disk failure.
NOTE:
1. Redundant disk supports to save mainstream recording only.
2. If the disk type has been changed, the hard disks might be unmounted and offline. Please wait a while till the hard
disks get mounted again.
Disk Group: You can set the disks into different disk group for recording. See more on 5.6.1.1 Disk Group.
