HikVision NET VR initialises NAS with 180 empty mp4 files

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

This is my first post, and I am also a newbie at CCTV and DVRs.

 

We are trying to set up a Hikvision Net VR/DVR plus NAS and the problems we are facing are as follows:

 

When we connect a NAS box to the NETVR /DVR it needs to format the 200GB Disk.

It does this by creating 180 X 1GB empty .mp4 files.

 

This does not allow us to see which mp4 the video is being recorded into at any given time.

 

The possibilities are the following:

- Hikvision does this always and we cannot avoid it with Hikvision, so find a DVR/NETVR that does not do this.

- Hikvision does this with 3rd party NAS boxes, but a Hikvision NAS box would not face this problem (this is what a hikvision sales guy told me, not sure)

- We put some wrong settings into our DVR/NETVR configuration and after changing those we would be fine.

- If someone could suggest more solutions it would be great, perhaps a DVR/NETVR that allows SSH access.

 

The system we would like is as follows:

NETVR/DVR -> HD (local) +NAS -> We can SSH into the NAS and copy the most recent footage.
