Here are the steps for you:
1. Confirm the hard drive installed. Newly installed hard drive needs formatting, please enter the Main Menu — Advanced Settings– Storage to Format Storage. And then go to the Main Menu—Info—HDD Info to check the hard drive status normal or not.
2. Go to the Main menu– Record–Record Conf to set the recording.
