Installation
Installing the Hard Drive
Caution The HRTL-One must be powered off before installing a new hard disk drive
or removing an existing hard disk drive.
Do not remove the hard drive until after the HRTL-One has been powered
down for at least 60 seconds. This will protect the hard drive from possible
damage.
The hard drive must be installed before the HRTL-One can record video. For a list of
compatible hard drives, see Appendix B.
To install the hard drive:
1. Pull the active-handle outwards, then insert the miniature key (supplied in the hard
drive cartridge) into the key hole, turning the key counter-clockwise to the “power
off” (unlocked) position.

Recording Video
Your HRTL-One DVR offers a variety of flexible recording modes. You can configure it to:
• Record all the time
• Record for scheduled time periods
• Record upon alarm activation
You can also configure record speed and resolution (quality).
The desired recording parameters are configured using the menu setup screens (see
Chapter 3). During normal (recording) operation, if power stops accidentally, after the
HRTL-One recovers power, it will continue to record after booting up.
