Bosch Security Systems | 2006-12 | V2.5 Installation
USB interface
The USB interface supports the USB 2.0 standard and enables a connection to
an external hard drive using a USB interface.
When a connection is first made to a USB hard drive, the VIP X1 checks whether
a compatible file system exists on the hard drive. If none is available, the VIP X1
creates a new one. In doing so, all existing data is deleted. If a compatible file
system is already present on the hard drive, any data already stored remains on
the drive. The drive can then easily be used for further recordings.
A PC can also be used for playing back recordings, irrespective of whether a
connection to the VIP X1 exists (see page 116).
Caution
Check whether any other data that should be backed up exists on the drive
before plugging in the drive. All other data on the drive is deleted as soon
as the VIP X1 is switched on.
– Connect the external drive to the USB port of the VIP X1 using a USB cable.
