Open the recorder’s IP address in Internet Explorer and login (the default login for the recorder is Username: admin Password: 123456 After logging into the recorder, navigate to Setup > Hard Disk > Allocate Space. Select each camera by changing the Camera ID drop down. As each camera is selected in the Camera ID drop down, change the option for Max Recording Space and Max Image Space. Each setting is how GB are allowed to use used for this camera on the HD. Please use the disk calculator tool on our website to calculate how much space each camera will use for the desired time required. () Note: Max Recording time is how much space the camera is allowed to take on the HDD that it is assigned to for footage that it is recording in live time; this could mean motion recording or regular recording. Most traveled areas should have more space on a HDD than less traveled areas. Max Image Space is how much space the camera is allowed to take on the HDD when set to record snapshots. The following RAID Explanations are very general how each RAID works and what it does. These are not in full detail. RAID 0 RAID 0 arrays allow for HDDs to work together for faster read and write speeds, this allows for faster retrieval of data and a smaller chance that data from a lot of cameras being written to the HDD at one time will corrupt. With RAID 0 if one HDD goes bad ALL HDDs in the raid will go bad. RAID 1 RAID 1 allows for two HDDs to in an This array will record to one HDD and mirror this HDD to the second HDD. This will keep a backup of all footage if one disk fails. RAID 5 RAID 5 requires at least 3 HDDs to run. RAID 5 allows for three disks to be set up where disk one and two are mirrors and disk three is a backup drive that will take over in case one disk fails. Each disk can be read from and will have good performance but low write speeds since only one disk will be being written to.
