  1. First off you should not be looking on fleabay.

     

    The DVR mentioned, is only capable of a Maximum Recording Frame Rate of 120 IPS @ 704×480 which is, 7 FPS/IPS at Half D1 (Approx the size of a smartphone screen.

     

    Effective Pixels for 700TVL is 976 (H) x 492 (V) NTSC

  2. Yes it will give you the ability to troubleshoot.

     

    Set it to DHCP and as long as your router is not rebooted the DVR will keep the same IP Address forever.

     

    If your problem is solved then it's a router issue, just assign the DVR a static IP Address within the DHCP Range (The one the DVR got when you changed it to DHCP) and you'll be fine.


  3. Looks like a bad or corrupted HDD.

     

    1. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the drive mftr.'s website or use Seagate's SeaTools For DOS. You will create a bootable CD with the file you download. You will need third-party burning software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free ImgBurn. Burn as an image, not as data.

    Boot with the CD you made and do a thorough test of the drive. If it fails any physical tests, replace it.

     

    2. If the hard drive tests good, then seethis notice by microsoft:

    [Q316506] -http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316506

     

    Be proactive and make sure you have backed up your data because the drive may be on its way out.


  4. Easy, Easy, No intention of trying to be smart, you stated OEM so I assumed they were Pelco Branded.

     

    You can use the Pipeline Series from Seagate, been using them with no issues and they cost less than the ones you have now.

     

    Those drives that came with the DX8100's are Seagates ES.2 Series.

    You can easily purchase them online at a lower cost just make sure you purchase from a reputable store because Seagate offers a Limited 5 Year Warranty.

     

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, maybe you can give me some pointers .


  5. Have you ever used the Seagate Barracuda? If so, curious what you thought. I was going to get one for a DVR, but the Pipeline HD you mentioned looks very interesting. Seagate spins a bit faster, but does that matter at all?

     

    Yes, we currently have alot of the ST31000524AS in the field in smaller standalone DVR's, no issues.


  6. We use only Seagate HDD's

     

    Previously we used the SV35 Series, which was actually designed for Surveillance Systems but we had failures in environments where constant Read/Write was absolutely necessary.

     

    Now we use the Pipeline HD Series which we really haven't had any issues with this far.
