To edit HDD property, you need to set the storage mode of the HDD to Group. See Chapter 12.3 Managing HDD 
Group. 
3.  Set the HDD property to Read-only. 
4.  Click OK to save settings and back to the upper level menu. 
 
  You  cannot  save  any  files  in  a  Read-only  HDD.  If  you  want  to  save  files  in  the  HDD,  change  the 
property to R/W. 
  If there is only one HDD and is set to Read-only, the NVR can’t record any files. Only live view mode is 
available. 
  If you set the HDD to Read-only when the NVR is saving files in it, then the file will be saved in next 
R/W HDD. If there is only one HDD, the recording will be stopped.
