Haggis!!

I have had this issue before with a few different brands of Dvr. In all but one the issue was the hdd, with that disconnected the Dvr would run and not alarm or reboot. The one that the drive was good turned out to be an issue with the psu.

Have you exported any data from the unit yet? If so what file extension is it? Also a picture of the gui showing any menus might also help identify it. N

Little more info required befor some one could help you, What Dvr do you have? What size of USB are you using and what format is it? Reason I ask that is depending on the age of the Dvr it might not see a USB drive over 2GB, or if your USB is over 32GB it will be formatted to ntfs, again a lot of dvrs don't like nyfs formatted drives so I always make sure any external USB drive I use for cctv recovery is formatted to FAT32.

Hello all just thought I would say hi and introduce my self. I have a few years experience in installing and setting up CCTV systems and have now moved on to the recovery and forensics of CCTV so I hope I can not only get some advice when required but also help others with there problems. Haggis!!
