HDD FORMAT SETUP
In this menu you can format the HDD, as well as change security
settings for formatting the HDD. A password can be required to format
the HDD; even users who have access to all controls of the DVR will not
be able to format the hard drive unless they know this password.
Enabling HDD password protection is recommended, so that only the
right people can erase any footage you have captured and stored. This
password should be different from the password used to access the Menu
of the DVR. This setting will prompt a user to enter a password before
being able to enter the HDD Format Setup Menu.
