bpzle 0 Posted September 5, 2010 it doesn't work that way. You must connected a flash drive to the USB port of the DVR and copy files to that. OR use the ethernet port put the dvr on a network so you can use the dvr's client software to view/save the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted September 6, 2010 Probably not. If it's a Linux-based system, it probably uses the ext3 filesystem, in which case you could probably read the drive on a Linux PC, or MAYBE using an ext3 driver for Windows... but that's a big IF in itself. And even IF you manage to read the drive, the video on it may be in a proprietary format that you won't be able to view. I've run into a DVR like this before... the only way to "export" video was to hook up a VCR or some other sort of capture device to the monitor output, then hit record on that while hitting play on the DVR. Not very efficient, but that's to be expected from a cheap system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snate.ini 0 Posted September 9, 2010 Another way to do it is "if" your DVR has an FTP option you can set the DVR to FTP all video to your PC it will take a while but it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
