3.2.1 Choose HDDs
We recommend Seagate/IBM/Hitachi HDD of 7200rpm or higher.
3.2.2 Cal ulate HDD Size
You can use 120G-1500G HDD to guarantee higher recording durations.
The formula of total HDD size is:
Total Capacity (MB) = Camera Amount * Recording Hours * HDD Usage er Hour
(M/h)
H.264 compression is ideal for standalone DVRs. It can save more than 30% HDD
capacity over M EG4 part 1. When you calculate the total HD capacity, you should
estimate the average HDD capacity per hour for each channel.
For example, for a 4-ch DVR, the average capacity of HDD usage per hour per
channel is 200M/h. If you want the DVR to record video 12 hours each day for 30
days, the total space needed on your HDDs is: 4 channels * 30 days * 12 hours *
200 M/h = 288G which requires one 320G HDD or 2 160G HDDs.
3.2.3 HDD Installation
Data ribbons and fastening screws are provided in the accessory box.
lease follow the instructions below to install hard disk.
1. Loosen the screws of the upper cover. 2. Remove the HDD bracket from internal unit.
