I've got a tiger security 16 CH DVR. The backup process is very slow and buggy. I want to copy all the files directly off the HDD to a windows laptop, so I can review them when I have time and keep them for later and not have them over written. The files are in .264 format. Think the DVR OS is a proprietary Linux. My windows PC doesn't recognize it when I connect the HDD to the laptop with a SATA USB cable. Thanks

I know it would be slow, would want to swap the HDD, then copy via USB 2 on a separate laptop to a HDD over night, that would take the 5 hrs and I would have all the files backed up for review at a later time when I find damage on my property a few weeks later. Also one issue with the neighbors they lie and create stories where I am involved. Like I kicked their dog 3 weeks ago. So now I need to have some video of where I was or wasn't 3 weeks ago to show that their story is total BS. The issue right now is that when connected to my laptop via a SATA USB cable, the HDD is not readable. This is what I really need help with. Thanks

Having issues with my neighbors. The max size of the HD on this unit is 1TB (wanted to go to 4TB bought a HDD but it wouldn't work (checked with maker afterwards). The backup is just SO SLOW for 1 or 2 files it drives me mad. Then to review the files I need to have it in the DVR, and it starts to overwrite - it's not a great solution. As an IT guy, I know the files can be copied faster and if I can get them off the linux drive, I can convert them and review them quicker with other software rather than the slow playback. The files are backed up as .264, but I cannot see on the HDD to see what they are in native. Thanks
