I have a 4 port Hikvision NVR (M/N DS-7604NI-K1/4p, and trying to export some clips. It only has one USB 2 port in the front, and when I connect a pen drive, it does NOT "see" it. I have searched the web on how to copy those clips to either a NAS or pen drive, but no success.
How do I do it?
Since it only has one USB port on the front, I use a USB hub, so I can connect my mouse AND pen drive. I even tried just using the pen drive and no mouse, but still no luck.
How do I get those clippings????
thanks
Edit: Found the answer. There is a USB port on the back of the unit, right below the Ethernet port. What a crappy place to put it for my purposes.
My setup, I have 4 cams that connect to a 4 port POE switch in the basement. My NVR is located on the bottom shelf of my entertainment center. Only an Ethernet cable plugs into that NVR, I don't use the POE ports on that NVR.
So, in order to use save the clips, I have to attach a pen drive on the back of the unit, which in my case is a real pain in the butt. So, I will just leave the pen drive attached and add clips as created and pull the pen drive out when it gets full or when I need those files.
I wish there was a way to save those clips to one of my networked storage devices.
I am complaining about that USB port being located on the back of the drive. I have a fairly new Synology NAS and those stupid, put a USB 2 port on the rear of the NAS and a USB 3 port on the front. I added an external HDD to that NAS, but had to connect the USB cable to the USB 3 port on the front of the NAS, what a stupid idea of using a USB 2 port on the rear of the NAS.........
Enough complaining, I guess..... But DO wish there was a way to save those clips to one of my networked storage devices.
