Help with cctv

pjwhite99

Is there anyone could help with the setting on a cctv I have?

It's 2t in size

Set it up the last day went to look back 4 days and could not get it to go back.

Went to hdd and it says "size 1998" free 0"

Is there no way that when it runs out that it can start all over again?


There is a loop record and this box is ticked. now it has run out of memory it will only go back about 26hours

There hd l have no book so not sure what to do

Putt it there

Check recording frame rate , with HD cameras (1080p , 2 megapixel) 8-10 frames per second more than adequate . Also check bit rate . Most are recommended to be between 1700 and 3400 kps .

2TB harddrive is relatively small for HD cameras though , if you have more than 3-4 cameras you will get a short memory

Have you the date and time set ?? With mine if i leave it unset after turning it on it wont record.
As for the memory i have 1tb hd recorder and 5 cameras it will record for two weeks before it starts overwriting.
