Thank you for the quick tip. If a hard drive has already hit 0 capacity does the drive need formatted? I have made the changes you suggested but drive space is still showing full. Appreciate the help

Hello, I was looking for this for a long time. This helps a lot. But I have a question … if I have like 300+ days of recordings and I’m appling this setting for 30 days, is it going to delete everything I have untill the day I apply it, or is it going to delete only up to the number of days that I apply the setting ( in this case 30 days ) Thank you!

So it will overwrite after 30 days right? if the camera recorded for 30 days the upcoming record will replace with those days and it will repeat that everyday i mean it will keep 30 days back than today

Hello DVS. Thanks for this quick tutorial. I seem to have touched something while configuring my Hikvision NVR last week and suddenly I noticed that the font size is bigger and pixelated (with the edges of the text appearing like tiny stairs), to what used to be before fiddling with the settings. Now I don't know how to return back to the small fonts. Do you know how to fix this small problem? Thanks.

If you've set it for 14 days, where do you view the remote playback for other days ?
