areas. The recording areas can be modified as needed. Modifying the recording areas will result in initializing the hard
disk, and all recordings to be erased. Save necessary images to some other media before modifying the recording
areas.

area. The default setting is 80%; it can be manually
modified from 0% up to 99%.
If the normal recording area is set to 0%, video is only

full, every time images are recorded on each of the
recording areas, they are overwritten from the
