Hi,

 

Is there any information on how to see what goes on the local attached hard disk ?

It initially formatted and is connected. Please explain what is the use of connecting a local device.

 

Thanks in advance

The purpose of the USB disk is for backup recording only. This is especially useful if you lose the internet connection. The backup storage will still continue to save your recordings. The only way to view what is on them is to remove the disk and insert it into your computer.

As a PS;

 

When triggered recordings occur, they go to the cloud AND the usb backup drive at the same time.

Manually recorded videos do NOT go to the backup drive but will appear in the Library

 

If the usb drive was active and the internet goes out it will continue to send the videos to the backup drive BUT they will NOT be sent to the Library when the interent comes back on ( no back filling )
