Installing the Software
HARD DRIVE SETUP SCENARIOS
Your computer may have:
A hard drive with a recovery partition (ie. C drive and D drive with Recovery Software)
If you have a recovery partition, it is recommended to set your C drive as the primary video storage
location. The "recovery" partition is reserved for the operating system, and does not have
adequate space to store your surveillance videos.
A single hard drive (ie. C drive only)
If you only have a single hard drive without a partition, then set your C drive as your storage
directory for the surveillance videos.
A hard drive with a partition (ie. C and D drive)
If you have a second partition in your hard drive (ie. a D drive with ample space (for example,
100GB and above), it is recommended to set your partition as the storage directory for the
surveillance videos. This reduces the chance of losing stored videos if your main hard drive (ie. C
drive) fails.
A hard drive with an external hard drive (ie. C drive + external hd)
If you have an external hard drive, you can set your external hard drive as your storage directory.
It is recommended that you do not remove the external hard drive during recording or playback.

During installation, the software will ask
you to create a directory to store your
videos. Depending on your computer's
hard drive setup, you will need to select
your save directory accordingly.
