We recommend you to install 7200rpm EIDE hard disk drive.
5400rpm EIDE hard disk drive is not good enough to retrieve
recorded data in high speed and slow speed playback mode.
During playback at 60x speed, blue screen comes into view
instantaneously once in a while and you could not see some
pictures at that moment even though all they were recorded
correctly, due to limitation in speed of reading data on a hard
drive, and it is not a critical error in operation of DVR unit.
To see pictures you could not see, just go back for same seconds and replay at a little lower speed than before.
