14.3.2 Setting HDD Property 
Purpose 
The HDD property can be set to redundancy, read-only or read/write (R/W). Before setting the 
HDD property, please set the storage mode to Group (refer to step1-4 of Chapter 14.3.1 Setting 
HDD Groups). 
A HDD can be set to read-only to prevent important recorded files from being overwritten when 
the HDD becomes full in overwrite recording mode. 
When the HDD property is set to redundancy, the video can be recorded both onto the redundancy 
HDD and the R/W HDD simultaneously so as to ensure high security and reliability of video data. 
Step 1 Enter the HDD Information interface.
