tomcctv 187 Posted February 1, 2015 Hi. It sounds like you are making things hard for yourself From what I understand you have created a partion on dvr hard drive ? What type of dvr do you have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unix1992 0 Posted February 1, 2015 You can't. The hdd is only dedicated to the dvr/nvr or cannot be used for something else since most of the time is is based on a Linux platform. However, you can access the hdd by using the Web interface of the dvr/nvr and watch the recorded videos by using the playback function built-in the device. Please look at your manual how you have to access the dvr from your pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unix1992 0 Posted February 1, 2015 Unless he is using a PC based dvr or video capture on a PC Assuming he is telling the thruth in that other topic, he has a dvr. Since you cannot do something useful on a pc without a hdd, well booting in the bios perhaps or from a removable drive. I guess you are right.... I didn't install yet an HDD...i will do....

Thank you, for the info... Best not mixing posts ....... Your link is 10 days ago and since then has installed one. Still the fact is ..... Is he using standalone or pc Creating a file on HD (in form of a partition) is not a problem Snap shots Anpr logs Face time Can all be stored that way it stops that data being overwritten Still need to find out if PC based or capture device on pc or standalone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try something to find with snapshots when alarm has been triggered and send snapshot when email is sent in your settings. C- try to look on the website of ispy about the url, try the urls of zmodo to see if it works. http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Zmodo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
