Total Space – Total size of the hard drive currently installed.

Useable Rec. Time – Free space currently available in hours.
Auto-overwrite – When set to ENABLE the DVR will record over the oldest files on the hard drive. The
DVR will always be able to record events as they happen, however, it does means that you'll need to get
important events off the HDD before they're overwritten; and if overwrite is set to DISABLE the DVR will stop
record once the DVR is full. Whilst you won't lose old footage, you run the risk of missing new events as they
happen. Be sure you want to do this before selecting it.
HDD Format – Formatting the HDD will erase all data (i.e. footage) which is stored on it, and re-create the
FAT (file allocation table).
USB Format - If you have a USB flash drive connected to the DVR, you can format that, too. To do this,
click the [USB Format] button and click [OK].
Note: It is an important first step when configuring your DVR to make sure that the hard drive (HDD) options
are correctly set. So, strongly suggest that you do format the HDD before start the first record.
