Hi folks I recently purchased a 1TB H.264 DVR 4/8/16-CH Embedded Digital Video Recorder V2.1B and I'm at a lost as to why the files are not creating for me. It's a 16 Channel device that I have! I have set the device up according to the instructions and by the look of things the 16 camera's I have are all showing up on the monitor and have a red 'R' in each of them to tell me they are recording (I hope). I have changed the settings to have 15 minute files and 60 minute files but when I go to search for them I keep getting a message that no files created for any search or when I click the file list for a particular time etc the same message appears. Does anyone know how I can tell if the recording is actually happening and if not how I actually go about recording and creating the files. I did think it saved these automatically e.g. after the 15/30/60 minutes lapse a file would be created for each active camera. Please please help as the user manual doesn't state anything why files wouldn't be creating or how to start creating them. Thanks in advance

Hi folks Anyone any idea why my newly purchased Seagate 3TB Backup Plus Desktop Drive (USB 3.0) would not be automatically found by the device below H.264 DVR 4/8/16-CH Embedded Digital Video Recorder V2.1B I use a normal USB Pen Drive and it works with that but for some reason it doesn't recognise this external hard drive. Any help / info would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance

Oh the Seagate 3TB Backup Plus Desktop Drive is recognised automatically on my desktop and laptop

Got it working - reformatted the HDD again and it automatically started to record the files - THANK GOD

I reformatted the HDD prior to setting time and all other settings as it asks you to do this first. I have the time set and after leaving the device on for 24+ hours I went back to search for files within that time space and I just get the no files created message. LOST
