[Note] Removable Disk
The table below lists compatible USB disks. If you want to use other removable disk, it
should be compatible with Linux 2.4.0 or over. Other USB disk may not work properly.
It is recommended that you confirm through the manufacturer the Linux compatibility
of the removal disk you wish to purchase.
The USB disk should be formatted as FAT 32. DVR does not supports NTFS or other
file system.
When the memory of the portable USB disk is partitioned, or a password has been
set, the system will not recognize the disk. Combine partitions in the memory and
unlock the password before connecting the disk to the system.
Since some USB HDDs do not generate power at all or generate only low-voltage
power, a separate power source is required for such USB HDDs to enable the system
to recognize them.
Only when the memory of the USB HDD is formatted as the main partition will the
system recognize the USB HDD. If it is formatted as an extension partition, however,
the system will not recognize the USB HDD.
