On the 26th of November, we had 4 swann Cameras installed in our home for security, and to obtain evidence following constant neighbor harassment and vandalism to our property. Few days after the Cameras were installed, we noticed that files were being deleted from the DVR recording; even when we have witnessed the activities live, when we go to view it on the recorder, the DVR message would state "file not available, OK" the event recorded would be completely deleted. We have noticed that the DVR did not stop recording, because the recorded files prior and post the time of the incidents would remain untouched, but the incident would be deleted somehow.

No worries guys, the message has been received by the people that it is intended for and that is really the purpose and all that matters . Thank you all, again for your great tips and suggestions. Goodbye and God bless!

Boogieman message not for you. The people the message is intended for, know who they are, and already got it.

Unethical evil bastards!!!!!!! Your conniving manipulative evil in-laws had you tampering with our water bills and you participated in this! Just because you are employed with the community municipal water company, you think it is ok to break the law? Does this act make you an upright citizen? Messing with government data and property and many other unethical activities you and your wife's family have been perpetrating against me and mine; for example now, with your hacking into my wireless access and stalking me and my family online(as you have stalked me to this site and have to read this). Will the law enforcement agents continue to act soft on you, if they are aware of the illegal things that your evil in - laws have had you involved in, and actions you have thus far perpetrated against my family? Shameless you, you lack goodness, or integrity, all of you!!! What wrong have we ever done to you people, other than that we moved into this community and are trying to live our own lives just like every other family? You have your own family, you have children, why are you hurting us? We've done practically nothing to you. You people attacked us right immediately we moved in, and you never stopped. You spread lies and hate and set the other neighbors against us. On several occasions, You trespass into my property to vandalize. We've seen you do these things and we installed the cameras. You try to disable the cameras so that you can continue your evil actions against us. You hack our PC and wireless access. Your psychotic sister in law stalks me around the neighborhood as well as online. Is she aware that this is a federal offense? At least just like you, she is logged on and reading this now. She yells profanities at me and my little children when they play outside our home. She stalks me around the vicinity, looking for, and creating trouble! Her new husband has joined in her hate activities. Horrible people!!! shame on you!!! Your father in law and mother in law harassment me and my family at every moment and every chance they get to do this, and they've got you joined in and you people act like upright citizens when other people are present, as you go about convincing the other neighbors that you are upright. What is upright about people who perpetrate evil and hate against others and who bother people who have done nothing to them other than that we are living our own lives without bothering anyone. If these people that you go about trying to convince of your uprightness, only realize your true actions and your acts of hate towards me and my family, I wonder if you'll still have anyone supporting you. You? upright citizens????? How is that? What is upright about you people hacking and stalking me and my family online and about ( and as you are on this forum stalking me and reading this now including the countless other things you people have done to us)? My short and simple message to you and your in-laws is that the higher law is onto you all; You continue your acts, it is only a matter of time, that's all!!!!!

Thank you so much Dalepres, you're right on target! Bless you!

Thank you so much everyone, we'll certainly put all your suggestions into consideration. We're keeping an open mind, but we have other things under on going legal investigation, which I'm not at liberty to discuss here. So with that and your suggestions, we are confident things will work in our favor. Again thank you all. God bless!

[i]This is a clip from the first article by Greenberg. Bear in mind, our camera type is swann. see what is written about it: Early last week a security researcher who goes by the name someLuser published a blog post detailing his dissection of a DVR built by the security firm Swann, disassembling the device and running tests on it via its serial port.

We found these articles, they validated some of the things we have been experiencing. They are quite interesting!

Nop, I kid you not!

@Unix1992: So the one million dollar question at this moment is, is the analog dvr connected and is this dvr also affected by the deletion mystery?

Exactly, Goodolick! It was not initially installed with the shield down. It was installed with the shield up and the lens down. Now the shield is down, which it shouldn't be, and the lens was flipped up from the down position it initially was. This is another evidence to show that the devise was physically tampered with because it couldn't have gotten that way by itself.

Sorry Guys, I see where the confusion is coming from. The Information that I provided initially was not for the 4 cameras I sent the pictures of. Here are their information: 8 channel 720p 1MP (720p) PoE (Power over Ethernet) 1TB (Massive HDD) HDMI The initial information I provided was for a redundant camera we bought to substitute for camera 1, since it is being interrupted. Thank you guys for such great job spotting the difference!

They're: SWANN cameras SDVR-44200H 960H DVD Quality

They're: SWANN SDVR-44200H 960H

Ok! Where is the confusion!

How so?

@ Unix1992, the 4 cameras are wired and connected to the DVR

Sorry! The System is: SWANN SWDVR

There's some truth to that! But remember Don Stephens, some people are very dedicated to their work and will go to all lenght to represent their name and provide client satisfaction, regardless of how far long the job was done. While others are not so, after they finish a job and they are paid they become reluctant to followup.

Something else, when the cameras were installed, we noticed that the Lenses were located downwards and at the centers at the positions of 6pm. But Camera 1's lense has altered eversince it has been interrupted, we noticed that the Lens was moved up to the 12PM position. That is a change that required a physical adjustment and that was not made by either my husband or myself.

Hi, Don Stephens! The IR is not on it only comes on at night.

@ Goodolick, it's HDMI

Thank you for posting the pictures, Goodolick! The picture at the top displays the 4 cameras with camera 1 at the at the top left. as you can see, it shows a gray blank with an oval shape in the middle. This has been happening for the past 3 weeks precisely from hours of 0700 to 1600. with the exception of the day that I explained previously on one of my earlier postings about the day 10/1/2015, at about 1130, when my husband and I had taken the ladder out to trouble shoot the camera, and the neighbors' son- in- law hurriedly dashed into his truck which he habitually packed in front of our home and drove away and since the behavior was quite bizaar we thought it was relating to the camera, and when we went back in to view the screen, the images were regained without us even haven to troubleshoot the camera as we had gone out to do. Unfortunately, he continues to park in that area and we have continued to have that interruption daily. Picture two features the 4 cameras with camera 1 at top left, and what its images would look like, when it is not interrupted.

Sorry guys, I'm trying to post some images from the cameras, and I'm getting this message: The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 500 KiB. Still working on it.
