Datavideo HDR-1 is a portable and easy-to-use H.264 USB video recorder. Taking advantage of the convenience and ample storage capacity of USB for video recording, it utilizes the MP4 (H.264_AAC) format, making the storage and application of recorded videos for various small to medium-sized live events simpler. However, when storing videos in recording mode, users often encounter the following issues, and we will address them in detail.
Q1: What should users do if they need to purchase a USB flash drive temporarily but cannot obtain one with the recommended specifications?
A1: Users can purchase an SD card with a Class 10 rating or higher, along with a dedicated SD card reader, as a substitute for a USB flash drive.
Q2: Are there power-related issues when using an external hard drive for storage?
A2: Yes! The power consumption requirements vary for different brands of external hard drives, and issues with power supply may arise due to differences in the provided cables.
Q3: What specifications should users consider when temporarily purchasing a USB flash drive?
A3: It is recommended to purchase a USB flash drive with a "write speed" of 45MB/sec or higher.
Q4: Since Datavideo HDR-1 only requires a write speed of 10MB/sec, why is it recommended to purchase a USB flash drive with a write speed of 45MB/sec or higher?
A4: While USB flash drives may indicate a write speed, it generally refers to the maximum write speed rather than the minimum. We have found that, in the current market, USB flash drives with a write speed of at least 45MB/sec can meet the Datavideo HDR-1's write speed standard.
