USER MANUAL
5. 5.3 SMART
This function can be used to display technical information on the hard drive installed inside your
NVR. You can also perform a test (there are three types available) to evaluate and detect potential
drive errors.
Whole Evaluation not passed, continue to use the disk: If for some reason the hard drive has
developed a fault (such as one or more bad sectors), you can instruct your NVR to continue saving
to the drive.
Self-check Type: There are three types available:
Short: This test verifies major components of the hard drive such as read/write heads, electronics
and internal memory.
Long: This is a longer test that verifies the above as well as performing a surface scan to reveal
problematic areas (if any) and forces bad sector relocation
Conveyance: This is a very quick test that verifies the mechanical parts of the hard drive are
working.
