Thankyou so much JW for taking the time to reply - and in such detail. Really appreciate it. I'll go DVR hunting now..... cheers, David

Ah thanks so much for the reply - that's really helpful. Are there any units you can recommend me replacing it with (not wanting to spend more than I need to) ? I'd need a 3-4TB HDD so it can upto 2 weeks data. thanks again.

Hi all, I have a home cctv system using a Hikvision DS7208-HGHI-SH DVR, with 2x dome cameras and 5x fixed, that all run on coax. I've have had a few probs with the HDD failing (3 in 12 months). I could just be unlucky, though 2 of the HDDs were refurbs, but also the system is in the loft so...

Hi all, My first post, so please bear with me (previously I've found all answers on the forum without posting). I have a Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P. Yesterday I noticed it was randomly beeping. I've checked all cables and turned it off/on etc but to no avail. It is streaming CCTV ok, but there...
