Setting HDD Property
Purpose
The HDD property can be set to redundancy, read-only, or read/write (R/W). Before setting the HDD
property, set the storage mode to Group (refer to steps 1−4 of Chapter Setting HDD Groups ).
An HDD can be set to read-only to prevent important recorded files from being overwritten when the HDD
becomes full in overwrite recording mode.
When the HDD property is set to redundancy, the video can be recorded both onto the redundancy HDD
and the R/W HDD simultaneously so as to ensure high security and reliability of video data.
1. Enter the HDD Information interface, Menu > HDD> General.
2. Select HDD from the list and click the icon to enter the Local HDD Settings interface.

NOTE: At least two hard disks must be installed on your NVR when you want to set an HDD to
Redundancy, with one HDD with R/W property.
