upgrade kernel procedure automatically. After finished, please restart DVR to achieve.
Notice: Do not power off in the system upgrading process! Otherwise, it may cause that DVR cannot start.
Q12: Why is the hard disk used in a DVR identified a new hard disk if directly used to another same type DVR? And why
must we format it again?
When DVR only uses one hard disk, the hard disk removed from one to another same type DVR can work normally without format.
However, when a DVR adds to a new hard disk, it will identify the hard disk as a new one and inquire whether to format no matter
whether this hard disk used or not in another same type DVR before. In this condition, it can be used normally after formatted
according to the guide; if two or more hard disks used in different DVRs, when used in another DVR with the same type, they will be
identified to be two or more new hard disks, and all of them need to format. In general, please do not try using more disks removed
from different DVRs into another one in case the data lose.

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity
Users can calculate the size of hard disk according to the saving time and DVR recording settings. The DVR uses fixed video bit
rate. The below are the details at different settings.

The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity =Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording
time (hour) ×channel numbers
For instance, one customer uses PAL cameras, set resolution to CIF, video quality to Lowest, frame rate to 25 fps for enabling total
16 channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:
Total Recoding capacity =56.4 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X16(channels)= 649728(MB) 650(GB)
Therefore, customers just install two SATA HDDs with 320GB, it can almost record for one month.
