65 Q11: Why is the hard disk used in a DVR identified a new hard disk if directly used to another same type DVR? And why must we format it again? When DVR only uses one hard disk, the hard disk removed from one to another same type DVR can work normally without format. However, when a DVR adds to a new hard disk, it will identify the hard disk as a new one and inquire whether to format no matter whether this hard disk used or not in another same type DVR before. In this condition, it can be used normally after formatted according to the guide; if two or more hard disks used in different DVRs, when used in another DVR with the same type, they will be identified to be two or more new hard disks, and all of them need to format. In general, please do not try using more disks removed from different DVRs into another one in case the data lose. Q12: What are the minimum configurations of PC for clients connecting?

66 9 Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity Make sure the hard disk formatted and installed to the DVR for the first time. 1 Hard disk capability There is no limit for recording machine. We recommend 500G~2048G size to keep better stability. 2 Overall capability option The hard disk capability formula is: Overall capability(m)=channel number*time(hour)*capability in an hour(m/hour) The recording time formula is: overall capability(m) Recording time(hour)= Capability in an hour(m/hour)*channel number The DVR introduces the H.264 compression technology. Its dynamic range is very large so the hard disk capability calculation is based on the estimation values of each channel creating files in an hour. Example: For one piece 500G HDD, real time CIF for recording, it will keep recording for about 25 days.hdd spaces per channel is 200M/H, if 4channels real time CIF at 24hours recording uninterrupted, it can last:500g/(200m/h*24h*4ch)=26 days 66
