Great guide, I'm experiencing a strange issue, my DVR is compatible with the Cloud Storage feature and has that section in the web menu, I've also got 5MP Hikvision cameras. When I'm on the screen seen on you're video at 2:22 all the Camera's say '[Aundefined] undefined'. In all the other sections of the DVR menu and the web menu the cameras are properly shown, but its just in this cloud section. The connection to cloud service works fine, but I can't select the cameras due to them all saying '[Aundefined] undefined'

[@DVSLTD]

what model DVR and firmware are you on , and what storage option are you using ??

[@qaunainm]

@@DVSLTD So I got the cloud upload working, it didn't matter that all cameras in the drop-down were saying '[Aundefined] undefined' as there is a button saying 'Copy To' inside there it shows A1 - A8 and that is referring to my cameras.

[@DVSLTD]

@@qaunainm Excellent , we use Dropbox option personally which we find works very well , great work Qaunain

[@qaunainm]

@@DVSLTD Gdrive seems to be working good, though the videos don't play unless I download them, maybe because it's saving as h.265+ encoding? My issue was that in the web browser dashboard the list of cameras in the drop down were not displaying, but that occurs regardless of which cloud I select. Interestingly in the DVRs menu the correct cameras display. My next hurdle is to minimise all those false triggers :-0

[@ElectricalInnovations]

Hi, thanks for the video. Can you automatically back up the entire contents of the NVR using this method instead of just alerts? I can see this in the comments but its an older video so was hoping for some updates? Will it overwrite the storage in Dropbox/Google the same as the NVR does? Thanks,

[@TANOSTONE]

I’m using a 7204huhi-f1 turbohd dvr and 2 ecid12f ip cameras. I went through the steps, even got hikvision to connect in and we couldn’t get any files to appear in the Dropbox. Google drive has seemed to have updated their security and it is not an available option, one drive does not bring up any prompt after clicking get. I’d prefer to use Dropbox anyways. Is this still a viable method of backup? Do I have to do anything to Dropbox other than be logged in and copy the authorization code? It says online, but no information regarding storage name, amount used or amount available show up

[@DVSLTD]

Hi mike, its just linking it to the dropbox via the authentication code, not had issues myself , have you tried another dropbox account to test?
