HDD Management
This is the HARD DRIVE (HDD) MANAGEMENT screen. All aspects of the hard
drive can be managed from this screen.
Additionally, this is the place to go if you want to know exactly how much space
is left on the hard drive, and how much footage you can record to it.
HDD STATUS: If the hard drive is not installed properly you will see a message
saying NO DISK FOUND. The live view screen will display the icon
on the bottom of Channel 1’s display if the hard drive is not being
detected.
TOTAL SPACE: Total size of the hard drive currently installed.
FREE SPACE: Total amount of free space available on the hard drive(s) currently
installed.
AVAILABLE TIME:Free space currently available in hours, calculated based on your
current record quality settings. (Note: If you have OVERWRITE
enabled, this value will be redundant.)
OVERWRITE: When enabled, the DVR will record over the les already stored on
the hard drive. Using the overwrite option is advisable, as the DVR
will always be able to record events as they happen. However, it
does mean that you’ll need to get important events o the HDD
before they’re overwritten.

Say, for example, you are trying to monitor your front yard, whilst in the background
there is a busy street, and the cars driving past continually set o the motion
detection. What can you do about it? Setting only part of the camera’s view to be
motion sensitive might be the answer. This is useful in a number of circumstances,
such as monitoring one particular door at the end of a busy hallway, or a backyard
with a tree that keeps blowing in the wind.
To set the MOTION DETECTION AREA
• In the MOTION DETECTION menu, use the mouse or the arrow buttons to highlight
the SETUP button for the channel you wish to setup the MOTION DETECTION
AREA for, and con rm by pressing select or left clicking.
• You will see a grid (15 x 12) of red boxes.
The red boxes mark the area that is sensitive to motion.
• Use the arrow buttons or the mouse to move the cursor around the screen.
• By pressing select or left clicking an area in the grid, you can toggle motion
detection ON or OFF in that location.
• Areas marked by red boxes will be sensitive to motion, those not marked will not
be.
• Click and drag to select the area you want to select or deselect.
In this example, the entire screen area is activated.
A su cient amount of movement (depending on
your sensitivity settings) anywhere in the screen
will trigger the motion detection.
This example shows the same image, but the top
left side of the motion area is not activated, and
neither are the edges of the screen. Movement in
these areas will not trigger the motion detection.
