Configuring disks Diskmanagement Display disk configuration to do operations to the HDD. With disk configuration, it is possible to check the total HDD capacity and the capacity of each recording area, and to format HDDs. HDD space management The HDDs in the recorder are virtually divided in the 4 image areas shown below. You can set only one area for each HDD. (1) Normal recording area (2) Event recording area Pre-event recording (3) area (4) Copy area You can check the remaining capacity for each area on the Setup menu. (1) Normal recording area Area for recording except events. Manual recording/schedule recording/SD memory data (2) Event recording area Area for recording when events occur. Post-event recording/emergency recording (3) Pre-event recording area Area for pre-event recording. (4) Copy area Area where copied data is saved. Note: • The HDD provided in the recorder at the factory is initialized as normal recording area. Unformatted HDDs inserted into the recorder are automatically initialized as normal recording area. However, if you remove an HDD operating in an area other than normal video and audio recording (see the basic manual), any unformatted HDD inserted into that spot is formatted the same as the previous HDD. • Recording/playback is not possible if only the Pre-event recording area and the Copy area are created. Create either one normal recording area or event recording area. • If a normal recording area is not created, manual and schedule recordings are recorded to the event recording area. Also, if an event recording area is not created, event and emergency recordings are recorded to the normal recording area. 82
