properly with the system.

This step cannot be undone.

on ( ).
2 Click Device.
3 Click the checkbox under Sel
ect to choose the drive you wish to reformat.
Select checkbox
4 Click Format HDD.
5 When the warning window appear
s, click OK. Wait for the system to format the hard drive.
NOTE: You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The system
uses a portion of the disk spac

common in all security DVRs as well as computer hard drives.
