judy-mavlon 0 Posted May 3, 2016 Are you trying to replace the hard drive in the existing DVR? You shouldn't need the firmware version to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not real familiar with the systems. Kinda thought it might be like computer where you need OS. Thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
judy-mavlon 0 Posted May 3, 2016 Yes, you should be able to just replace the hard drive. You may want to use the DVR to format the hard drive when you first install it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
