recommendations.
We recommend that you divide your hard disk into two partitions (E.g. C
and D) at least. The first partition is used to install Windows OS and system
software, the other for storing record files. Each partition should not be larger
than 2.5TB.
Please use appropriate motherboard and display card. Contact your
dealers or our support engineers if you have questions.

maximum space can be assigned for recording.

be assigned for recording.
【 Residual Data Package 】 = 【 Free Space(M) 】 /256

1.2.1 Create Package

Hybrid NDVR Server Manual
17
Select the number of new data package
User can select the number of data package for each disk in the
drop-down list. Then user can press button to create data
package and index for recording. After that, software could calculate the rest
space automatically.
Note:
Please format the whole disk thoroughly before using it to be recorded.
Each package for recording (Recdata****.mp4) is 256MB, and it is
associated with its index file (RecIndex****.inx). They must work together, or
user can‘t playback recording data correctly. Also, user can‘t modify them
unless deleting them together manually.
By default, disk C and Disk D are used for system application, so our
software will not use it (default: 【New Data Package】= 0) unless you change
it. Since windows will pop up information to warn when the disk has low
space, by default, our software will leave 3 packages (about 256*3=768 MB)
for disks (except C and D) to avoid that information. That is to say, the default
value of disks (except C and D):
【 New Data Package 】 = 【 Residual Data Package 】 -3
Software will cost much more time to create data package and index for
FAT32 system than NTSC system.
【Note】: Each record drive must be less than 2.5T, or software will have

some problem while recording.
1.2.2 Manage Package
After the data package is created, user can click to
delete the data package manually. After that, the space of the disk will be
