basic requirements and configurations of using GV-NVR.

The GV-NVR system can support up to 16 channels. The following table lists the minimum

and recommended system requirements needed to run the GV-NVR.

For optimal performance of your system, it is important to follow these recommendations

before installing the GV-NVR:

Before installing the GV-NVR, mare sure DirectX 9.0c is already installed on your

computer.

It is strongly recommended to divide your hard disk into two partitions. One partition is

for installing Windows OS and System Software, and the other for storing audio/video

files and system logs.

When formatting hard disk, select NTFS as the file system on both logical drives.

GV-NVR is a multi-channel video recording system. With normal use of the system,

the logical drives containing video files will become fragmented. This is because

GV-NVR constantly stores video files of multi channels simultaneously, and video files

will be scattered all over the drives. It is not necessary to regularly perform disk

defragmentation. Since the system software and video files are stored on two

separated logical drives, the performance of your system will not be affected.
