Jem, how long do you run the surveillance system already? If the Harddisk is fulled with record file, the software can't record also. So i advise you clear the record file to see whether the system record again.

Get your money back. Most Dvr cards on e bay are junk!

What brand of card and software would be nice?

Go with a brand that you see mentioned here on this forum and you'll have no problems.

also make sure you are using its recycle mode .. may be called something different than that but basically it needs to be able to go back to the start and record over or delete older files then record from that point again .. with cheap cards sometimes you need to change the Windows Recycle Bin settings to "Remove Files Immediately When Deleted" .. otherwise the disk may fill up.

Maybe it is something as simple as a setting. See if the settings are directing the recorded files to the correct hard drive or partition on your computer.
