Observe Disk Status
It may happen that one of your disks goes into failed status after the NVR system starts
recording for a long period. Most times, a disk does not fail suddenly, but goes into failed status
because the number of bad sectors on it has exceeded the minimum required level to maintain
normal operation. On NVR Live View interface, the recording status and system events can
help you make an initial assessment of the overall disk condition.
 On Device List , if the recording is proceeding normally, the red “recording” icon will
appear next to the device icon. If all the icons are missing when the NVR is supposed to
perform schedule recording, your storage disk might have gone into abnormal status.
Event list will also display two kinds of abnormal disk status – Disk Full and Disk Not
Found .
You may take the following steps to make a simple diagnosis.
1. Confirm the schedule-recording setting
Go to Setup page  Schedule tab, and modify the recording schedule if it is not correctly
configured.
2. Check Disk Drive List
Go to Setup page  Storage tab.
 If the disk drive is missing from Disk Drive List , please shut down the NVR and
re-install the hard drive.
 If the disk is full, a warning icon will appear next to the Drive , please
configure the recording rule setting. The NVR server will start recording
again after the new setting is applied.
