5.5.1.2 S.M.A.R.T
This function can be used to display the technical information of the hard drive installed in your
NVR. You can also perform a test (there are three types available) to evaluate and detect potential
drive errors.
Self-check Type:
There are three types available:
Short:
This test verifies major components of the hard drive such as read/write heads, electronics
and internal memory.
Long:
This is a longer test that verifies the above as well as performs a surface scan to reveal
problematic areas (if any) and forces bad sector relocation
Conveyance:
This is a very quick test that verifies that the mechanical parts of the hard
drive are working.
Whole Evaluation not passed, continue to use the disk:
If for some reason the hard drive has
a fault (such as one or more bad sectors), you can instruct your NVR to continue saving to the
drive.
Note
: When performing a test, your NVR will continue to work as normal. If an HDD S.M.A.R.T
error is found, you can continue to use the HDD, but there will be a risk of losing recording data.
It is recommended to replace with a new HDD.
