not working, please unplug them and then try re-plugging again;
Second possible reason: It is forced to stop because hard disk has disabled track which causes the system checking
hard disk cannot skip
Solution: Change another new hard disk or reformat the broken one

Q11: Why is the hard disk used in a DVR identified a new hard disk if d irectly used to anothe r same ty pe DVR? And
why must we format it again?
When DVR only uses one hard disk, the hard disk removed from one to another same type DVR can work normally
without format. However, when a DVR adds to a new hard disk, it will identify the hard disk as a new one and inquire
whether to format no matter whether this hard disk used or not in another same type DVR before. In this condition, it
can be used normally after formatted according to the guide; if two or more hard disks used in different DVRs, when
used in another DVR with the same type, they will be identified to be two or more new hard disks, and all of them need
to format. In general, please do not try using more disks removed from different DVRs into another one in case the
data lose.

9.2 Append ix B Calculate Recording Capacity
Users can calculate the size of hard disk according to the saving time and DVR recording settings. The DVR uses fixed
video bit rate. The below are the details at different settings.
Video
Format
NTSC CIF 30
PAL CI F 25
The calculation format is:
Total Recording capacity =Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording time (hour)
For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to CIF, video quality to Lower, frame rate to 25 fps for
enabling total 16 channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:
Total Recoding capacity =56.4 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X16(channels)= 649728(MB)≈650(GB)
Therefore, customers just install two SATA HDDs with 320GB, it can almost record for one month.
