2.5 Video Storage Location
* For detailed instruction, refer to p.9 of v8.3 User Manual
* Please note that for IP camera recordings, it is necessary to distribute no more than 4 megapixel IP cameras per hard drive due to current hard drive recording speed limitation. For 640x480 and 720x480 recordings, no more than 8 cameras per hard drive. Recording more cameras than allowed will reduce hard drive’s life span while creating error messages in the system.
