I have a simple CCTV setup with 16cameras and a DVR H.264 System

I was wondering if I need to record my feed over the network, what Windows/Linux Softwares are available?

This is the link to my DVR

How are Samsung UNITS?

Need the best DVR Recorder System for a 16CH cameras. In the past I bought cheap dVr system which used to corrupt the HD after power outages. I need a robust system which can recover from power outages or any other issues.

Interested Features

-No destruction of HDD from power outage

-Streamlined backup system

- Easy and intuitive GUI

- Fast playback and search

- Access via Internet or Mobile APP

- Robust Fan

TIA

Did you test the drives in another machine?

Yes 1 drive was bought brand new, other were bought from eBay. Yes I have a USB Dock, through which I had reformatted all of them with my MAC and also UBUNTU, still no luck

 

Also, if these are used drives, it might not be a bad idea to Zero them out, look for Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) it is bootable CD image

 

Unplug the drive in the computer that you want to use

 

and

 

connect the drives you want to delete and run this utility (the CD will boot into its own OS and give you options, you can change the option to a single pass, it will be quicker and the larger the drive, the longer it takes)

 

it is a dangerous utility so make sure you are deleting the drives you want, not your system drive (that is why you should unplug it)

I have a Chinese made H.264 Four Channel DVR, is there a specific specification when buying a HD for it? Unfortunately I bougt 2-3 Hard Drives with various capacities ranging from 250GB to 1TB but all of them are unrecognized. the system touts that it can support upto 2TB HD but not in mycase.

Somewhere I found a 80GB HD in my storage and apparently that works, but i am only left with 2 days worth of recording so I am looking for a bigger capacity HD

Please advice

Thanks a lot

I bought 3 HDD but all of them the moment I plug into my DVR go bad, the DVR doesn't recognizes the HDD and once I have plugged that HDD, I can't use it

I have a external USB Sata Dock but once I have plugged any HDD to the DVR that wont show up on the USB Sata dock

I am in great despair, please help

I have H.264 DVR (Q-See) 8 channel

I had a power trip recently and now my H.264 DVR doesn't lists the Hard Drive, I have hooked the hard drive externally and checked its fine, but the DVR wont show it

What should I do? tried reset etc. but no luck

Thanks
