Fryatt 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Hi, Hope someone can help. I have just recently installed my FLOUREON DVR H.264. Everything is working fine I can watch from a remote PC and through the monitor connected to the DVR itself. However, I am having trouble setting it to record, was just wondering how to go about doing it? I have set the schedule as manual and set the times. But when I come to playback it says "No files" when I select a channel. Thank you in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Check if your hard drive is formatted. Or if there is a hard drive at all (sometimes they forget to install one even if you paid for it). 2nd I would check to see if the time is set correctly, on more than one occasion i had a customer whose time was off by a few days then when they search for today they couldn't find anything. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fryatt 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks for your quick reply! I have just checked for the hard drive and turns out it doesn't have one!! Even though it said in the description of the purchase. Is it possible to use an external HD to record to or is that not possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted April 4, 2014 Not possible, the HD needs to be installed inside the DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted April 4, 2014 hmm you opened the DVR and there's no HD? wow such bad luck sometimes they install the hd but didn't plug in the cables (HAPPENS ALOT) then the DVR won't be able to detect it either. I would open up the dvr and see if there's anything inside. but yea get your money back or have them ship you a HD with sata cables and screws Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
