Maximus123 0 Posted June 25, 2015 Hi there, While I have some familiarity with the equipment in question, I have a suspicion that someone has been turning off the equipment in question for short periods. How would I go about investigating whether or not our DVR has been switched off? Maxi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maximus123 0 Posted June 26, 2015 Hi Tom, It is this one here. http://www.amazon.co.uk/CnM-500gb-H-264-Camera-System/dp/B002UQO2VU The time on the recorded files is roughly ninety minutes behind realtime. What I am beginning to suspect is that someone switched off DVR and then maybe reset the time to the time when they turned it of - when they turned it back on. So that the DVR would seem to not miss any footage. Is this a reasonable hypothesis? Maxi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted June 26, 2015 change the admin password or setup a new admin account. If this system logs time and user who is logged in you should be able to tell when the old admin account started/stopped. Not a bad idea to hide a camera with onboard storage SD card and have it record activity in the DVR area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to say run some footage on the watermark trace but CNM is or was a cheap budget dvr Time being out would not surgest someone has turned off your recorder ....... Time would always be right if switched off and back on ...... Clock has own power CNM were never good at holding the time I would look at changing to a qvis dvr they are cheap enough but good and brings what you have up to date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
