If the USB hard disk's ﬁle system has been damaged, restarting the NVR will not solve the problem and the aforementioned error message will continue to be displayed each time you attempt a backup. If this is the case, you will need to format the HDD or use a recovery program to repair the damage to the drive's ﬁle system.

6 Motion Search (This function supports only in single screen.) Motion Search cannot be performed while using a split

screen layout. Select Single Screen mode.

• Select First under From and Last under To to search the recording from start to ﬁnish. Alternatively, you can uncheck the First and Last options and specify the search time frame manually.

• Type: Motion Search looks for motion in the selected area by comparing individual frames against their preceding frames. This means slow and gradual movements, no matter how long they persist, will not be recognized. In contrast, Museum Search looks for changes in the speciﬁed area by using the From frame as a reference. Museum Search, therefore, recognizes even minute deviations from the original From frame.

• The Zone setting can be conﬁgured in the identical manner as the Zone setting under System Setup Motion Detection. For more information, refer to the

Motion on page 44.

Museum Search may not function properly if the

edge of the object is included in the Zone. For more accurate search results, set the inside of the object's edge as the detection zone.

Part 4 - Search

Overlapped Recording Search

If the system's clock is changed to a point in the past, overlapping recordings may be produced. Overlapped recordings have to be searched in segments.

For example, making a recording from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock, changing the system's clock at 5 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and then continuing to record until 6 o'clock produces two recordings that overlap between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. This results in two segments for the period between 3 and 5.

1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00

Segment 1

Segment 2

3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00

When searching overlapped video recordings, you can choose a speciﬁc point in time or a time frame. If you use the Go to the Date/Time option and select a point within the overlapped time period (4 o'clock, for example), you must specify 4 o'clock in which of the two existing segments.

If you use the Event Log Search or Motion Detection option and select a time frame within the overlapped time period (4 o'clock to 5 o'clock, for example), you must choose between the two redundant sets of From and To values. Selectable search ranges are as follows:

• 4 o'clock in segment 1 to 5 o'clock in segment 1

• 4 o'clock in segment 1 to 5 o'clock in segment 2

• 4 o'clock in segment 2 to 5 o'clock in segment 2
