6.3 DISK MANAGEMENT
This window displays information on the drive mounted within the DVR including size, available
space and status.
The drive can be set to read only, which will disable recording, but will preserve the data
currently stored within it.
If you have upgraded your system by installing a new drive (See Chapter 9) you will need to
first format the new hard disk before recording. You can reformat the current drive if desired.
WARNING! Reformatting the drive will delete all recorded files stored on the
hard disk regardless of whether they are Locked!
Refresh will update the information about the drive.
6.4 UPGRADE
This window will display firmware updates that are loaded on a USB flash drive in the front
USB port.
PICTURE 6-10
Firmware upgrades are available from Q-See at www.Q-See.com and may be found by
looking up your specific model. Firmware should only be upgraded to fix a specific problem or
add features as ongoing development may result in features being removed.
The firmware download should be loaded onto an empty USB flash drive from the
downloading computer and then transferred to the DVR using the front USB port.
WARNING! It is vital that the DVR be instructed to shut down using the Shut
Down menu option prior to unplugging the device in order to avoid damaging
the firmware or hard drive itself.
WARNING! Updating the firmware incorrectly or using the wrong update
can permanently damage the chipset on the DVR and render it unusable.
Updates are written to either resolve issues or add features to the DVR. If you
are not experiencing performance issues or do not need a feature added by
the update, we recommend not running the update.
6.5 LOGOFF
Logging out of the DVR is recommended when there are multiple users or when physical
access to the DVR is not restricted. Clicking on the Logoff icon will bring up a window asking
for confirmation.
After logging off, a user can log back in by clicking on the Menu icon and entering their user
name and password.
6.6 SHUT DOWN
This is a “soft power down” of the DVR.
