Hik DVR systems automatically overwrite the oldest recorded data. There is no reason to delete individual clips or days. That’s why you don’t see an option for it, because it is unnessary.

Thanks guys. I understand now. Have also found the expiry date option. Great piece of kit, but a steep learning curve !

You can try this (I'm trying it too):

Set the system date/time in the System Configuration screen to be the day that you want to delete.

Then from the main menu select Recording configuration and choose the Record Quality option. Then select the 'Record' tab. Select the camera you want to delete video on.

In the field marked 'Erase video after (Days)" type '1'.

Wait a day and see if that days video is erased without erasing the other days.

 

For instance to erase Feb. 3, 2016, set the system data to Feb.3, 2016.

On Feb. 4th the Feb 3rd video should be deleted.

I don't know if this will work but It seems logical.

I'm going to try and see what happens.

Just got a DS 7604N-K1/4P that has the same issue that I can't delete any files.

Any solution ? How do I set an expiry date ? Or overwrite HDD when full ? Can't see those options anywhere. Thanks.
