Hard Disk pre allocated technology means that multiple channel videos will only
write in a single video file. Features: 1. This avoids corrupted files being created by
repeatedly read and wipe file fragmentation; 2 .Avoid long distance repeatedly
reading and writing to the hard disk magnetic read; 3. Protect FAT table and
catalogue area, reduce the disk failure. Through the technology a ove we can
ensure the relia ility and sta ility of the disk, prolong the life of the SD card / hard
disk, video data security;
The hard disk drive will automatically create two partitions, respectively, used to
store system logs and video files.
After a new hard disk is inserted into the DVR and when it starts for the first time,
the DVR will automatically format the storage device to pre allocate the storage
space. In the first instance, the loading time of storage device takes 2 3 minutes, to
create the single volume and start recording. Subsequent vehicle start ups will
record much faster.
