You have an obvious firmware problem. Try to upgrade it if possible.

Hi.

 

I have the same problems with my DVR4-1160. I talked with the support and they first told me to update the firmware/software. Next I talked with them they found out that the unit is brand new (only 3 month at the market), so there was no updat.

I record in detection mode, and Ill try in manual mode.

 

But it is bad, new unit on the market, with such troubles

Thanks Martillio, for your great work.

Im still not sure it is right, that the firm are sending brand new units on the market, with that kind of troubles.

 

Please let me/us know about your test results.

Hi again to all

WARNING !!!

I can not recomend to update your firmware on your DVR 1160 from Swann.

As you know I do it for one week a goo.

It works now for sensor recording, but now there are other bigger problems.

The DVR show now, when i try to replay Year 2031 and the hard disc are 123% full ???

as i know 100% is total full so 123% is not possible, and about the year.

My time setting is 2010

so how can the recording be in 2031 ???

I cant understand that Swann will send a update like that!!!!! and tell Me to update the firmware.

I am very dissapointed about Swann and I will not recomend to invest in their products with this kind of service.

I have found a new H 264 No name 8 channel DVR on Ebay from China I will recieve it tommorow

so my old Swann 1160 Mpeg4 vill be delivered back to store for repair or money back.

Otherwise I will put it in my bin.

looks like you are going from bad to worse ...

Have you figured all the time you have spent on the swan? Multiply that by your average hourly. Perhaps you could have bought a better DVR?

Even sold at Fry and the Swan offers such incredible service, do you think the Chinese DVR manufacturer would offer better service. I hope the best of luck to you. Keep us updated.
