Useful Features

The capacity of the hard disk will be reduced by

approximately half when mirroring is set up. It is therefore

necessary to take care when setting recording times.

Mirroring can only be set up for the built-in hard disk, and is

not possible on the external hard disk.

Setting the system for mirroring is not a guarantee that

data will not be damaged.

All events logged on the built-in hard disk and the external

hard disk will be deleted when mirroring is set up. It is

therefore necessary to take back-ups of all important

events beforehand.

Depending on the recording settings and the operational

status, there is a possibility that playback speed will be

reduced and that the sound will not be synchronized with

the images when setting up the system for mirroring. This

is not a malfunction.

If a power failure occurs which the mirroring settings

enabled, the re-creation process will be carried out once

again in the background. The safety of the recorded data

cannot be guaranteed while the recreation process is being

performed.

Depending on the condition of the hard disk, there is a

possibility that the mirroring settings will fail. In this event,

cancel the mirroring settings, and then begin the setup

process once again.

Recording and playback is not possible when the mirroring

settings are being processed.

As the hard disk capacity displayed on the screen is

calculated as 1GB = (1024)

3

bytes, a lower capacity than

actually exists will be displayed.

If a defect occurs on one of the hard disks, the function for

exporting data onto DVDs will not operate.

The objective of mirroring is to protect recorded data in the

event that the VR-509 hard disk malfunctions. Note that

there are cases where operations cannot be continued

even when mirroring has been set up depending on the

case of hard disk malfunction.

It is possible to delete only the alarm lists without disturbing the

alarm recorded images.
