Configuring disks
Display disk configuration to do operations to the HDD.
With disk configuration, it is possible to check the total HDD capacity and the capacity of each recording area, and to format HDDs.
The HDDs in the recorder are virtually divided in the 4 image areas
shown below.
You can set only one area for each HDD.
(1) Normal recording area
Area for recording except events.
Manual recording/schedule recording/SD memory data
(2) Event recording area
Area for recording when events occur.
Post-event recording/emergency recording
(3) Pre-event recording area
Area for pre-event recording.
(4) Copy area
Area where copied data is saved.
Note:
• The HDD provided in the recorder at the factory is initialized as
normal recording area. Unformatted HDDs inserted into the
recorder are automatically initialized as normal recording area.
However, if you remove an HDD operating in an area other than
normal video and audio recording (see the basic manual), any
unformatted HDD inserted into that spot is formatted the same
as the previous HDD.
• Recording/playback is not possible if only the Pre-event
recording area and the Copy area are created. Create either
one normal recording area or event recording area.
• If a normal recording area is not created, manual and schedule
recordings are recorded to the event recording area. Also, if an
event recording area is not created, event and emergency
recordings are recorded to the normal recording area.
