Great video. Did you have to format the disk? Hiw many cameras do u have?....is 1TB enough storage space?

[@garagebuilds5469]

Hello Robert once I powered everything on and was going through settings it did format the HDD. I have 4 cameras on my unit. So far yes 1 Tb has been enough for my use. I'm only concerned to have to replay video if need be so far have not had any need b's. Hope this helps.

Go to system menu then maintenance. Then go to select factory default. It should then go to reboot and you can start all over again. If this does not work you can go to [e-mail] I hope this helps.

[@billywayne4222]

Installing a hard drive is easy, but, does the motherboard recognize the hd and give you the option to activate and/or install the Annke operating system? Annke site customer service is never any help. Thanks....BW

[@garagebuilds5469]

Once you install hard drive the dvr does recognize it. As far as adding operating system to the hard drive there would not be any reason for that as hard drive is just storage. Hope this helps.

[@billywayne4222]

Yep..no problem once hd installed. I was concerned the operating system would have to be installed (like a computer), but apparently it's within the motherboard. Thanks for reply...

[@garagebuilds5469]

@@billywayne4222 yes sir plug and play ;)

[@jeep1074]

How come your unit doesn't have an internal coolin fan?

[@garagebuilds5469]

Not sure on that but you could always just get a 12 volt fan and put in if needed. I have been running my DVR since this video was posted and have not had any issues with it at all.

[@whatcha7354]

Wrong HHD!!!!!!! Blue is NOT the correct HDD for CCTV application. You must buy WD Purple

[@jeep1074]

This Brand is asking for a HDD 7200rpm or higher. I can't find any purple HDD with this amount of rpm

[@transporter1387]

True western Digital Purple is a dedicated HDD for surveilance use because it has a better write than read speed but Caviar Blue works just as well and as the poster above says its 7200rpm vs 5400rpm. Remember the video is for a low load home surveilance application with a couple of cameras not a heavy duty 8+ camera industrial or workplace installation.
