Formatting will clear all video data on the hard disk. Use this function only when
necessary.
Be sure to uninstall the hard disk before removing it from the DVR during runtime;
otherwise, the hard disk may be damaged or data may be lost.
The DVR must be connected to a stable power supply during runtime; otherwise,
the hard disk may be damaged or data may be lost.
The maximum capacity of a single hard disk cannot exceed 6 TB.
2.2 Hard Disk Recommendation
Seagate or Western Digital hard disks which are highly stable and inexpensive are
recommended.
2.3 Approximate Video Storage Duration
Table 2-1 Approximate Video storage duration
Formulae for calculating the approximate video storage duration:
Step 1 Use the following formula to calculate the storage capacity q (unit: MBybte)
required to record a single video per hour:
q = d/8×3600/1024

The data listed in the preceding table is only for your reference. The recording time estimate
may be different from the actual recording time. The user shall be liable for any loss
incurred as a result thereof.
2.4 Hard Disk Installation
