Hard disk drives
The installed hard disk drives have to be initialised
before the device can be used for recording. It is
only then that the device will recognise the hard
disk drive.
All data will be deleted from the hard disk drive
during initialisation.
Ensure data is backed up promptly.
Click on "HDD" in the menu to adjust settings relating to
management of the hard disk drive.

Note
If the installed hard disk drive is not displayed,

When using NetHDDs, ensure that your network is
of a sufficient size.
The playback of recorded data may be slower if
you use NetHDDs than if you are using the inter-
nal hard disk drives.
