“HDD hour meter warning” means that HDD operation time of NX recorder reaches the specified period of time (default : 20000 hours). If it reaches 20000 hours, we recommend to replace the HDDs with new ones in NX recorder.
You can cancel the warning as below:
- On the status display panel, click [ Error ] button and then [ Reset ] button.
Note:
