Advanced settings
Here you can apply general settings for all hard disk drives installed.
RAID:
In this menu you can create a RAID array for recording video data on the recorder.
Important:
RAID is a software RAID function. This means that RAID data is managed via the
recorder's integrated CPU. If the function is enabled, the INPUT bitrate of the NVR is
reduced by around 40%.
Physical data storage device:
This view shows a list of all the data storage devices connected to the NVR. The
following options are available for further configuration:
Note
If you would like to learn more about using RAID, we advise you to consult specialist
literature on the subject.
Specify whether older recordings should be overwritten when
the hard disk drive is full.
When this function is activated, idle hard disk drives go into
standby mode.
Use this to activate the integrated RAID controller (only
NVR10040)
Automatically creates a RAID array from all the free data storage devices.
Create a RAID array manually. The following RAID types can be used:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10.
Free data storage devices which are not assigned to a RAID array can be
defined as “hot spares”. These data storage devices are not used by the
system initially. If there is an error in a disk which is part of a RAID array,
the hot spare data storage device is immediately activated for use.
