CCTV Hardrive recovery

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I was recently burgled and my CCTV system had stopped working, but there is a small chance that the camera caught some footage.

 

I have removed the hard drive from the recorder and Im trying to access it as an external hard drive on my computer, but I can't seem to get it to be recognised.

 

The hard drive is a Western Digital 1TB purple SATA

I have plugged it into my external HDD converter, and plugged it into a Mac and also Windows 10 machine but can't view any of the files.

 

The drive can be seen, but I can't mount it or accesses it to view anything.

 

Appreciate any help with this, hoping someone else might of had this issues.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Si

The monitor output doesn't work so its not possible to see anything on the screen, (I've tried connecting a new monitor but didn't help) this is why I took the hard drive out.

 

I thought I would be able to view it as you would an external hard drive.
