countdown 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Is there anyone out there with a lot of experience in off-loading video from these Speco models? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gb5102 0 Posted November 3, 2011 If you are looking to export video from a fully operational DVR, your answer should be in the manual(page 33 for single events, page 80 for multiple events.) http://www.specotech.com/DVR/DVR4TL/DVRTLmanual.pdf Sounds like to do the multiple events method, you need to format the external storage device with ext3 filesystem. Depending on your technical level, this can be done relatively easily using a gparted live-cd. If you are looking to recover video from a dead DVR- I've revived a few DVRs just by replacing their external power adapter(match all specs...)- many times the power supplies are low-quality and just burn out or get 'weak' after a few years. If thats not the issue, then- depending on you technical level- I would remove the hard drive and connect it to your pc, then use a driver such as ext2read to allow windows to read the files on the hard drive. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ -GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
countdown 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Is this something that a store owner can easily do? (like plug-in a thumb drive, read the screen menus and press a few buttons and done) I don't know EXT3 formatting. Is that something the Speco can do to the thumb drive when it needs to be done?
