1. Choose correct card type is very important! 



2. When you first time insert SD/HDD memory in DVR, DVR will detect it and try to format it. 

Attention: DO NOT format it manually. Just keep waiting till DVR formatting it automatically. 

3. DVR start formatting SD/HDD after about 10 seconds. 

    The time depends on memory capacity. The lager memory will need you to wait longer time for start formatting.

    For example, if you use a 32GB sd card, you just need to wait 10 seconds and then DVR will start formatting. But if you use a 1TB HDD memory with it, you may need to wait about 30-40 seconds and then DVR will start formatting.

   For HDD DVR, SD card just used for update only, do not use SD card for recording because it may cause unexpected problems.
