The NVS2501 supports the preview of video files
stored on an USB external hard drive—as well as
video files stored on memory cards such as: SxS,
CardBus memory card(including P2/P2E), SDHC,
SDXC, MS, MD and CF.
Select “External device” from the preview menu.
Then connect the external device to the NVS2501.
(1) If an SxS or CardBus memory card (including
P2/P2E) contains video or image files—and is
inserted into the NVS2501--information about the
video or image files will be displayed.
(2) If an USB hard drive is connected, the
NVS2501 will detect and analyze the backup
folders. The NVS2501 will then display the backup
folders as in the figure. The rest of operations are
the same as previewing from the internal hard
drive
If you select “Back” by pressing and holding the
control key, then a “remove (device type)”
message will appear on the LCD display. Once the
cable or memory card has been removed, you will
automatically be returned to the main menu.

The NVS2501 allows a user to copy a memory card to both the NVS2501 hard drive
and to an USB external hard drive at the same time, making two copies of data
in a single operation. The NVS2501 provides “Multi-copy” and “Sync” functions
to make backup more reliable. Users can also choose to copy from an external USB
device (USB HDD / USB Card Reader) to the NVS2501 internal hard drive.
