Okay mate that's good to know for future reference, and I'll leave all that sort of stuff for now unless I need to go down that route, fingers crossed I dont lol.

Is that a paid service Hik Partner Pro?, thankfully we have split amicably so there is no bad feelings between us so I dont think there would be any issues of me calling round to sort things if needs be. And the internet is with Virgin (I think most of Teesside is?) and when I was trying to set...

Ah spot on mate sounds "Easy" enough then lol. Is there a way I could adjust stuff on digital host way if I ever needed to for her ? could I use a vpn and input a certain IP to then be able to connect to it that way ? When my mate installed his a tried to change some event lines etc but I...

Thanks for the reply JB , ill see if I can sort it out soon, hopefully its not too bad because there is no monitor with the NVR so would have to login online and I cant do it from where I live now as the IP is different ?

Hey everyone just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this for me at all. I setup the home cctv at my 'house' but long story short me and the missus have split up and im just wondering how I can transfer her the details to be the main admin whatever you wanna call it on the app ? I shared...

Yeah the fan is blowing air out to the right mate , I tested it before I put it in properly as there is no markings to say which way round lol! Ive moved it to the middle now but im thinking ill move It lower down on the shelves as im thinking it will be cooler lower down, I checked today when I...

Hi JB , managed to get round to installing the Noctua fan tonight , just wondering if you know anymore info regarding temperatures , when I first turned the NVR on it was 26c probably 5mins run time , then I checked again after 30mins and it was at 36c. I’ll check tomorrow evening when I finish...

Ah right I must just be unlucky then lol , ive seen people say about swapping the cables as that could be an issue , when I got a replacement amazon only sent the HDD no new cables etc so ill try that also aswell as installing a fan

When I was checking the temps during the summer it wasn't much hotter than 40 , maybe 45 or so but never seen it up into the 50s or anything , and it was always within the manufactures operating temperature, I think each drive lasted around 4 months , I have 4 cameras running but have 3 on 24/7...

Yeah it's only because they replaced it back in August so wondered if they would be a bit funny about it lol. And I noticed the price as jumped up , I think I paid around £80 and they are now at £130. Im going to speak with them now and get one of them Noctua fans ordered , going to look at...

Yeah that’s right mate, I’ll get in contact with Amazon today and see if they will replace it lol. If not Im wondering if it’s worth swapping from a skyhawk to a wd purple? Although I’m guessing the no fan being present is almost certainly the issue not the HDD.

Nevrmind I think the HDD is goosed now lol. It was working fine until I ran the bad sector detections , I have tried to re initialise it etc but it's having none of it now so hey ho lol.

Thanks for that mate that is where the info is, im running a short test and it just keeps coming back saying reading operation failed. But everything is still working as normal via hikconnect and recordings of events etc.

Im going to have a look now mate ,I forget what version mine is since I updated it.
