scheduled time or event. Select the time in seconds to stop post-recording

Using an external recording device

You can use an external storage device, such as an eSATA HDD, to backup
video or to add its recording capacity to that of the NVR itself. If you change this
option, you must reboot the NVR to implement the change.

To define how the external recording device is used:

1. Click the

Video Schedul

e icon in the menu toolbar.

2. Select

More Settings

.

3. Select one of the two options:

Record and Capture: Extend the recording capacity of the NVR.

Export: Backup data onto an eSATA backup device.

Note: If the external storage device is part of the total internal capacity of the
NVR, then it is no longer available for backing up video.

4. Click

Apply

.

Configuring overwrite

You can select how the NVR responds when the HDDs become full and there is
no longer sufficient space to save new data.
