From searching the forum I am under the impression that all these Super Mini NVR's are not created equal. They can have different hardware inside????? I have the Ctronics branded.
Which is the best brand to purchase? I have a AVTech brand camera that does record fine , although there are points where it stops recording for some reason and then starts back up. I only want something very basic for continuous recording currently 1 maybe 2 cameras at the most. I want to record continuously to my 1 tb pocket drives. which it more or less does.
The issue is in the documentation it has a mp4 output option for exporting a select section. . I only have avi & i8. I would like to have the mp4 or H.264 option.
I also have not figured out how to extract the section of the file I want to keep. Although I think I am selecting the clip correctly
Since there are only 2 USB ports how does one save it to the thumb drive? I assume the HD & mouse take up the 2 ports. I've attached a non powered hub and the mouse will work through it (the HD is connected directly to the NVR) but when insert a 8GB USB stick formatted to MS-DOS into the hub & select the section of the video file to save it goes through some motions (graphics indicating it is saving) but nothing shows up on the USB stick. It seems to be saving it to "/tmp/usb/sda1"
How do I get the clip onto the USB stick or should I just buy another brand to achieve success. Will powering the hub solve the problem?
