cirtemid 0 Posted March 29, 2014 Hello all. I have a Swann DVR9-4200 and was planning on getting an external SATA drive for extra recording capacity. Going through the manual, I do not see how I can make the DVR actually start using the external drive. The manual does say that an external drive can be used for live recording like the internal drive. I see the procedure for setting up the drive--mounting, initializing, etc., but what do I to ensure that the DVR starts using the external drive when the internal drive fills up? I am using the overwrite recording method. Oh, the troubleshooting section said that external drives connected by eSATA can cause the system to hang up upon startup. Would this include the auto-reboot the system normally does to maintain itself? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
