AVC-760z --> No OverWrite mode?

[a_taktos 0]

Hi,

 

I just bought an AVC-760z (model 3) DVR.

I can not found in its menu the option Overwrite HD. It does not show it at all in the RECORD sub-menu...

Am I doing something wrong?

 

If anybody can help, thanx in advance.

I cannot remember whether the DVR is auto set for overwrite or not. The one that I worked with has a 500GB hard drive, and I have a while to wait to get to the end. The box in the record setting menu was unchecked when I first set it up, and I put a check in there.

 

There is no option through the panel menu.

 

Go to page 32, and 40 of your manual.

 

You can download one here

GENERAL AP OPERATION

RECORD SETTING PAGE

 

Box with Hard Disk Overwrite is on the top left hand side of this page.

 

You will know you are on the right page when you see the days of the week Sun - Sat, and you see a time line.

Thank you for your immediate responce! I will try it.

Can I made you another maybe stupid question?

 

Do I have to be conected to the DVR with the softwere all the time, so it will keep the option for Overwriting? Or it is enabling through the software and stays?

I really do not know for sure.

 

I am thinking that the DVR come allready set up in the overwrite mode.

 

I do not know for sure, but I wonder if the overwrite option is for the download to a computer, and that file overwrites it self.

 

Interesting? I know that the DVR ran for three weeks before I checked that option. With a hard drive the size of 500GB I could probably go almost a month before it would overwrite. I could uncheck this option and see how the DVR goes. I will give you an answer in a month!! LOL!

 

 

 

If this overwrite function controls the dvr then once you set it then it should put the DVR in that "mode" all of the time, and not just when you are logged in.

I think that this option is to 'overwrite' the computers HD if I am using the remote recording...

I hope the DVR will automatically Overwrite its HD after fulling, but also I do not believe it... otherwise why to have a Full HD led information...

Is the version of my DVR old? it is the following:1172-1012-1022-1018-M3-6C1B

Do you use Video Server E, or do you use the new Video Server called video viewer.

 

Where I am confused is that the AVC 760Z appears to be a plain jane AVC 760.

 

Your video server sounds like the Video Viewer which means it is an AVC 760A / or an AVC 760AS.

 

1172-1012-1022-1018-M3-6C1B

 

Well? This is newer then the example in the manual!!!

1160-1012-1021-1014-M3-6C1B

 

I gave an email to someone, and I will let you know what I find out!

 

Take care

I am using the Video viewer. This software I only found in the package CD.

Where I can find the Video server E?

Video Viewer is the right software for your DVR.

 

Video Server E will not work with your DVR.

 

 

 

I have been expirimenting with the Video Viewer (replacement Video Server E for newer DVRs) for the AVC 760A.

 

It looks like it is possible to use the newer viewer, and connect to the older model DVRS.

 

This viewer has multiple DVR connections and yes it has the same small screen.

 

There is a screen where you have an address book of DVRs. You can click on the first one, and then when it is loaded, then you can click on a second DVR, and it will connect!

 

I think it can do up to four DVRs

 

I connected to an unknown DVR model number. It was having issues, but it did connect, and I saw the quad screen camera videos. Although it kept showing "loading". It would not let me toggle from cam 1, 2, 3, or 4.

 

I connected an AVC 760A, and it loaded fine. It has tabs so that you can toggle back and forth. You can also set up a multi screen.

 

I had a quad screen with DVR in number one slot with its quad screen, and in slot two i had the AVC 760A with it's quad screen. I was watching two 4 channel DVRs with 8 cameras on one screen.

 

I love this feature!

Thank you scorpion, I am waiting if you will have any news for my version.

I am waiting for the DVR that I have to get to the end of the hard drive, but it is a 500GB drive and we have some waiting to do!

 

Has your DVR stopped recording because it has gone to the end of the hard drive?

I have a 760z. Hit menu, record, and the fourth one down is overwrite (yes - no). Hope that helps.

On the older 760 then that would be correct. On the newer ones that use Video Viewer instead of Video Server E then that option is not in the menu like you would expect.

Mine says its a 760z. Came with Video Server E software. Thats watching it on a monitor, but also works over the network.

No guys in mine DVR there is not this option at the menu.

Scorpion I have also to wait until my 500GB disc will be full.

 

So we are waiting and to whom disc will end first, inform the other.

Finally when the disk recorded 500GB (450GB actually) the DVR was telling me that I have 6GB. It returned back to 6GB?

It is not overwriting the HD?

when the disk is full, it will erase at least 6GB to give way for the new recording.
