NVR STOP RECORDING

[dany]

Hi. I have Acesse NVR with HDD. It might be copy of Cenetec .

NVR stopped recording. How do I check if the HDD is the fault or the NVR?

NVR has recorded almost all time. I think it is adjusted to record 20 of 24 h per day (rest when I come from work). It's not motion detection recording, it was full-time recording on 4 channels, few years.

Guys, is it too much recording for the device?

Using the mouse and monitor connected to the NVR, have you logged into the NVR's interface to look at the HDD's status, alarms, errors, etc. ?

Ok. When I turn power on the NVR, in the HDD menu it says warning "Not connecting disk".

No blue light, which means HDD, close to red light, which is power.

But, maybe the good thing is that coming sound from HDD. That means that power for HDD working.

I was trying to replace the SATA cable, but still no blue light!

It seems that maybe HDD is working, but NVR stops recognizing it!

May I connect HDD to PC for testing? Is it compatible and can I burn something?
Or connnect other PC HDD to NVR which I have like surplus?

This NVR was real cheep, like 100€. But it has 16 channels.

The NVR's HDD is formatted in Linux so a Windows PC can't properly analyze it.
I would take a working, surplus HDD pulled from a PC and put it in the NVR then go to the NVR's storage menu to format the HDD.

I tried my old PC HDD, and NVR recognized it! Then I returned my Survaliance HDD 2TB and now working. Recording. How? Blue light still does not show up for HDD.

But I think I will give up of WiFi NVR recording because always 1 or 2 wifi cameras have a signal of 4. I have some wifi boosters, but...

Before a few years since NVR stopped recording, I was using only micro SD cards, and that seems to be the best solution.

Time change by itself
And why my NVR and cameras after a long time reset time by itself to some of the earlier period, like 25 years behind?

Today I found my NVR set to 01.01.2000...

And one day I didn't find any playback on the camera SD card, thought that card stopped working. But then I figured that is time on camera change in past period. So playback was when I changed exactly that year.
