Help with DVR

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I have a brand x dvr all it says on the manual is Digital Video Multiplex Recorder - 4ch stand alone dvr.

 

I am trying to view the images on a pc but am having no luck.

 

I have discovered that the images are in little endian format but extraction of a couple have been useless.

 

I am now thinking that it is stored as one large motion jpeg would this be the correct line of thinking.

 

What I am after is some software that will either convert the files or play them .

 

any help is greatly appreciated.

The brand name, model number even serial number could help getting what manufacture this is, or pictures of it and also the format of the files could also give som trace, other then that it will be like playing Lotto and maybe without any winners!

The only serial number is A400512

 

The format of the files appears to be jpeg but like I said it is little endian format.

 

I will try and post some pictures.

 

There is really no unique markings other than the serial or model

okay I cant post urls so I will try this.

 

I have put an image on photobucket of the dvr.

If you goto photobucket dot com and do a search for tracker468 you will be able to access the album.

 

I tried to post the image here but the forum wouldn't let me

Does it have a lan connection?

 

If so can you take a cross over cable, and hook it up to a computer directly?

 

It may let you in with a browser. If you are really lucky it may have the software as a down load.

 

I doubt the above as the PC board inside looks very plain jane entry level.

It doesn't have a lan connection it is very much standalone.

 

Unfortunately I cannot view the images using the dvr so I am trying it through a computer.

 

I can see them as hex on the HDD but they are stored little endian format.

 

Is there any software you guys know of that can view the images in this format.

I have started to rebuild them manually, but thanks for helping.

 

One other question I was expecting a timestamp on the images is this projected to the screen rather than stored in the file?
