SVAT Electronics CV501 - 16CH User Manual

This option will allow you to view the total capacity of the connected hard drive as well as the percentage of remaining space. This Menu is only 
used to display your HDD status, and no settings can be adjusted on this screen.

Disk – Name of HDD

Capacity - The size of your HDD

Left Ratio - The percentage of space left on the HDD

In this menu you can format the HDD, as well as change security 
settings for formatting the HDD. A password can be required to format 
the HDD; even users who have access to all controls of the DVR will not 
be able to format the hard drive unless they know this password. 

 
Enabling HDD password protection is recommended, so that only the 
right people can erase any footage you have captured and stored. This 
password should be different from the password used to access the Menu 
of the DVR. This setting will prompt a user to enter a password before 
being able to enter the HDD Format Setup Menu. 

1.  Select HDD PASSWORD PROTECT.
2.  Use the mouse wheel or directional keys to change from DISABLE to ENABLE. This will require the HDD password setup to be entered before  

 

  accessing the HDD Format Menu while enabled. The next step is to choose a password for the HDD format protection. The default password  

 

  is the same as the default password for the DVR: 1111. It is recommended that the DVR Menu password and the HDD password be changed and   
  different from the menu password. This way someone can access the DVR Menu, but not the HDD Menu.
