Hi. Go for the western digital cloud drive (from PC world) You can send data from that recorder over your local network

Hi. Plug first drive back in ...... Looking from front of unit it is furthest right

Hi. On the 32 you should have a few green led lights on main board Remove the lid and restart unit and see if they all come on Also unplug any H/Drives connected.

Hi . If it is working then just use as it is It looks old looking at its gui Don't think if you get an old system and flash with new firmware you will end up with a newer system ..... More likely you will brick dvr. Your image shows your using in a store ? Analog DVRs are cheap .... Buy one that has better internet viewing and has iOS and droid apps available

Hi. DVR to router then wifi to laptop http://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-powerline-500-nano-ethernet-adapter-kit-white/7394184.p?id=1218844155446&skuId=7394184

Hi. You are best looking at hybrid ....... Analog and IP . Tribrid would just be a waste of money Aver Dahua Hikvision Are worth a look at

Hi. Did you stop the recording before you try and alter time

Not a good place to buy from .... Also remember you have no warranty from hikvision ..... And seller charges you for returns Another problem is as seen on this forum you may get gui Chinese

Well no you don't ......... Electronic signature and watermark WILL ALWAYS SHOW TAMPERED ONCE you have burnt off footage and it plays on PC you have another option ....... Save as AVI then you can edit on many video edit programmes

hi. from your loft to your router you can use a netgear ethernet over power plug. and use the dvr software and apps on pc tablets and phones. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/networking/networking/powerline-home-networking/netgear-xavb5421-100uks-powerline-adapter-kit-twin-pack-10109301-pdt.html

hi. AK. yes the same in the uk native file ... pick and burn is not a option on the hik burn key is marked as backup. just kept it easy for ops direction.

Hik has no warranty from Amazon 64 cameras with no support ?. Your in the UK forget hikvision ..... Look at dahua ..... First it's not over priced and get more for your money Plus dahua cloud backup or monitoring And as far as DPA .... Yes it's £35 ....... Well it's only £15 but there is more to it than that What type of commercial ...... Is it public space ...... Bar/ club does it sell food or beer Is it high end goods ? Under UK regulations these things have to be answered before a system is designed ......

Hi watermark and signature. Are not visible on footage.... Don't get mixed up with OSD. HIK All you do is backup ... Create file ..... Click ok burn to MEM pen ...... It adds player automatically Then you either give pen or burn off pen to a DVD. That is the right way for court Re format and court or there lawyer will just ask for it to be removed ...... Not original

Hi. Question is why not just backup direct from recorder ? If this is for court use ....... Altering format and using another software is going to remove its watermark or electronic signature . That makes your footage useless in court

Hi. I would not go with any system listed above . Until you give a idea of premises your are installing on ... Private or commercial . £4000 ($3600) for a hik NVR would be your first mistake ( available in UK from £900. As stated cat5 is good ..... UK as of this year will have stricked restrictions on all cat cable so you need to buy which will conform to regulations ....... Don't let all that put you off ... It just means don't go buying equipment and cable from the likes of eBay or Amazon Next question is budget ..... As you see from above I have already saved you £3000 on the NVR alone It has already been surgested buy direct from China ??? Not for that amount of cameras ........ You will be spending weeks adding and changing firmware ( and that will be at your Cost) no support and returns will be out of your pocket. Budget and type of install info is needed

Hi you problem is your budget £200 ($360) Is not going to get all that you want Dahua 4 cameras DVR 960h is going to be your limit That has alarms .... Needs external sensors and also push

Did you ever find any information on this DVR? I have the same one (or think I do - it has a CD-R drive on the front left, and an interface that looks like it is out of 1991) and am also looking for info on it, in the hope of upgrading it. Hi. Sounds old You will not find an upgrade ......... You can't turn old into new .... It takes more than just firmware

Hi. I would just return it Main problem first is power supply burnt out soon as used system eBay rubbish First over priced .... The cameras are £15 each in the UK Was system sent .... To be used on UK power ? You buy security for your house ..... But take away the safety of your house with melting power units Send it all back and buy from a UK based company Also eBay is over priced for CCTV

Hi. This should help https://www.buyfromnorbain.com/Documents/ocw/0451610~Document~2.pdf https://www.buyfromnorbain.com/Documents/ocw/0451620~Document~1.6.pdf

Hi i don't understand that part ..... Card you have listed is only 16 CIF. That link is also wrong for the card they have listed .......no way on earth can the spec they have listed for that card do what they claim. It depends on how much work you want to put into the card you have ....... Are you going to use it ? It is old ..... And I would also guess footage will be with dedicated software

Hi. Yes that can be done easy. Which type of system you deside analog or IP depends on your budget.

Old PC and use hik VMS ? Buy hik NVR Why buy 3 hik 3mp cameras and then try to run on cheap Don't think your going to get many replies .......around $50 budget is just not worth typing about.

Love it when IDIOTS make pointless videos Another stupid salesman The clue is one camera is vandal and was is not .... Only had to read camera box on each ...... Feel like sending the guy an email .... What did you expect hit a none vandal dome with a hammer " title="Applause" /> Yes it's going to break Sales guy knows nothing Looked on his site WHY SELL 960h kits with only a D1 recorder

Hi. Even your sister would have to be licences Pub /bar is classed as public space ..... The law was relaxed for private installs I.e homes It sounds like cost is the problem and it does not need to be if system is built up over time First install 16 way NVR and 4 cameras ......that will be the main cost taken care of ..........then add cameras say 4 at a time each month ......... This also helps with camera placement as once 4 or 8 have been installed you will start to notice blind spots or bad spots were you can install the next 4 camera. CCTV in a bar or pub is a valuable tool ...... Helps protect the owners licence and also money loss ...... So don't buy cheap

Hi. A pub / bar in California is classed as public space so a licence is needed. I would personally go IP it has much better fur future protection Yes there are other systems available but have no fall back HD need a HD recorder ..... Recorder down whole system is down IP use NVR dedicated or PC .... PC or NVR down .... Just redirect camera feed ........ Also have second backup Also IP has future software ...... Your not just stuck with what VMS you use
