Record to hard disk & Frequency of save to disk When you enable “Record to hard disk”,

your video clips will be saved to hard disk every few minutes automatically. For example, if

Frequency is “5 minutes”, video clips will be saved every 5 minutes. You can choose from

anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Using this option can minimize video clip loss under

abnormal conditions, such as a power outage. If you enable this, it is recommended that you add

a fan for the hard disk because of the additional heat that will be generated.

If you disable this function, video clips will be saved in memory and saved to disk based on your

settings in Camera configuration Æ Recording Æ File (see Chapter 6-2). However, if the

system shuts down abnormally, all clips not saved to disk will be lost.
