Hi all
I bought this kit from banggood - http://www.banggood.com/ESCAM-QD300-Brick-4-Sets-IP-IR-CUT-Cameras+K104-Mini-NVR-p-941637.html?p=M72202225762201307PL
Installed the cameras and set up the recorder and it works ok but I have had no luck with getting the HDD to work.
I tried a powered external drive that has a USB port for data, it spun up fine but the box did not pick it up. Tried 4 flash drives and none showed up, ones I had with LED activity lights did blink but nothing showed up.
I tried using a 2.5in HDD (5v) with a eSATA cable but the drive did not spin up at all, and only after finding this site the eSATA port on the record is only for data not power+data like other eSATA ports.
I see others have had a similar problem but I am going to try buying the listed working HDD from the manual - WDBUZG0010BBK

Overall it seems to be a pretty poor product so far with almost no basic support for USB flash sticks or external HDDs..
