com to see if you have or need the latest version of the firmware. If your system is operating
without problems, we recommend that you do not update the firmware unless there is an

drive to the port on the right side of the DVR and press Start.

IMPORTANT! The overwrite features should be enabled before you begin
recording or the DVR may not delete files created before that point. If this
occurs, reformatting the hard drive will fix the situation.
HDD Full – Depending on the number of cameras recording, the size of your hard drive, how
many cameras are recording and how often, image quality and other factors, your
DVR’s hard drive can be completely full of recordings in one to four weeks. When it is
full, the DVR will stop recording unless you set it to overwrite older files.
WARNING!
Overwritten files can not be recovered. Important files should be
backed up onto another device to prevent loss.
