lizmclaughlin27 0 Posted September 15, 2011 I recently put up extra cameras which required me to get an 8 channel DVR. Loaded it all up and away we went. All was good for about 2 months. The DVR was recording away. I even managed to take footage of the DVR onto my PC. Dvr still recorded away. Then suddenly, I couldnt get it to record. I fiddled about a bit through the menus and I got it started again. But, this was short lived. It stopped again after ony about 15 - 20 minutes (I cant be exact). This keeps happening. I seem to cut the power and it starts again but then it stops. It says the HDD is "ok" and there is 1000gb free. Where do I go from here?? Is there something silly I am missing here??? Any help Please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted September 15, 2011 Check the settings for an option to overwrite the drive (also known as cycle record, recycle record, etc.) - some units come with this disabled and so will stop recording once the drive is full. Enabling this option will allow the DVR to continuously overwrite the oldest video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizmclaughlin27 0 Posted September 16, 2011 The overwrite is enabled. It seems to be only recording for 15-20 minutes. Anything else possible???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
