Overwrite a HDD
You can select how the recorder responds when the HDDs become full and there is no longer
sufficient space to save new data. The overwrite option is enabled by default.
To enable overwrite when the HDDs are full:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Storage Management > HDD Information.
2. Enable Overwrite.
Caution: If the overwrite option is disabled and the quota management capacity for a
channel is set to zero, the recordings on that channel can still be overwritten. To avoid this
happening, set a quota level for the channel or use the group management mode.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
4. Continue to configure the recorder or click Exit to return to live view.
Managing eSATA
If you are using an external eSATA device connected to the recorder, you can configure the
eSATA to record/capture or export video.
Select the Export option when using the eSATA as a backup. See “Quick Archive” on page 49
for further information.
Select the Record/Capture option to record and capture video. Information on the eSATA for
this purpose can be seen under System settings > Hard Disk > HDD Information.
To set up the e-SATA device:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Storage Management > HDD Information.
2. Under eSATA, select the desired eSATA.
3. Under eSATA, select the Record/Capture or Archive.
4. Click Apply to save the settings.
Storage mode
To ensure an efficient use of the storage space available on HDDs, you can control an
individual camera’s storage capacity using HDD quota management. This function lets you
allocate different storage capacities for both recordings and snapshots to each camera.
Note: If the overwrite function is enabled, the maximum capacity for both recordings and
snapshots is set to zero by default.
