Tools Submenu Overview
The Tools menu is where you can view all the important system information
such as model and serial number. You can also see key information on cameras,
recordings, alarms, networks and hard drives.
The
HDD
tab shows the current state of installed hard drives. You can see the status,
free space available, total space available and the maximum estimated record time
(free time) based on current settings. You can also set the overwrite behaviour,
format hard drives and on 8, 16 & 32ch NVRs set-up recording to an eSATA drive.
Under the
Info
tab you can fi nd all the useful information you may need for the
device such as ports, status, stream, privacy masking and motion detection settings.
There’s also information on recordings like state, stream type, frame rate, bit rate and
resolution. You can also set the device ID so the NVR can
be controlled independently with the IR remote control
when multiple NVRs are present and device name.
The
Log
tab is where the NVR keeps a record of
important events so you can see what happened and
when. The log shows when recordings started and
stopped, when the NVR started up and shut down,
when alarms are triggered and what caused them.
The
Maintenance
tab is important as it allows
you to save the current NVR confi guration, load
a previously saved confi guration, restore default
settings and update the fi rmware of the NVR and
compatible cameras.
The
Smart Analysis
tab shows a log of all smart
detection triggers and allows you to search for events.
