SV-HVR2800 Series DVR User Manual

8 Alarm

8.1 HDD

Here you'll find a comprehensive list of hard
drives connected to the DVR. Typically, there
will be one entry here, and it will probably be
the hard drive that came with the DVR. This is
not a problem, and you'll probably get years
of usage out of the included hard drive. Note
that external drives connected by either
eSATA or USB will NOT be displayed here.
8.2 S.M.A.R.T
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is your hard drive's
way of telling the DVR how it's going.
Status: The current condition of the hard
drive. It should say "Good". If it says anything
else, this indicates there's a problem with
your hard drive. If there's no problem, there's
little else to do here, unless reading the
output of the dozens of self-tests the hard
drive performs on itself is of interest to you.
If you have been confronted with a HDD Error, or the Status entry doesn't read "Good"
then you can use the S.M.A.R.T .information to attempt to diagnose the problem. The
information presented in the S.M.A.R.T. report is practically identical to what you'd see
on a desktop PC while using Administrator Tools, or a similar service.

8.3 PTZ

This is where you can configure the DVR to be
able to operate PTZ devices. PTZ stands for
Pan, Tilt & Zoom. The DVR is compatible with
many - but not all - PTZ devices available.
Camera No: The camera you'd like to
associate a PTZ device with.
