jlm722 0 Posted December 14, 2012 I hope I'm in the right place. I need help desperately. I purchased a DVR from wolfcomm and evidently they have NO technical support. I have an 8 channel basic DVR from them. I have the option to "overwrite" enabled. However, when the hard drive gets full, it will not overwrite. It just stops recording. I have to format the drive and start all over. Does anyone know what might be going on?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aibudo 0 Posted December 14, 2012 Don't know what make or model DVR you have, but is there a pdf of the owner's manual available? Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlm722 0 Posted December 21, 2012 There is, but as you can probably assume, it says to choose "enable" to overwrite. "Enable" IS chosen, but it makes no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted December 21, 2012 Try choosing DISABLE, save, run it a bit, and then choose ENABLE again and saving the config. Sometimes computerized devices get scrambled a bit and won't truly resave settings that they think haven't changed. REALLY changing and saving them to something different and going back and freshly selecting what you really want might do the trick. That's not DVR specific, just what I've seen occasionally on other electronic devices. It is also possible that their overwrite menu selection is vague or mislabeled and that you really want DISABLE write protect instead of ENABLE overwrite if you know what I mean, so try running it on DISABLE until it's full as well.

aibudo 0 Posted December 21, 2012 Just "shooting in the dark" also. After enabling and save, did you reboot the system? Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
