A cctv system becomes useless if anyone can go in and delete full or parts of footage.

 

Say you was a store owner with bad staff cctv is useless if they can remove clips they don't want you to see

i understand the logic now but the problem is i have to delete older videos from my dvr which i dont want right now as i i am getting a new dvr model but it will use the older hdd which has my videos. i dont want the engineer to see them.

what if i format the hdd. will it reset the whole dvr?

i mean will i have to reinstall all the software or however it works. or will it just clean up the old recordings and willl still work without any problem

 

Thanks

Hi. You will need to remove HD and format in your PC
