Hi all,
My apologies if this subject has been covered but I have had no joy in finding a solution.
I am using a 'HiLook By Hikvision NVR-104MH-C/4P' NVR to capture video from 4 cameras and store on the internal HDD. The device works as should with no issues capturing to the HDD. The HDD was unused prior to installation, and I left the NVR to format it under its default settings. All worked as should. For my application it is grossly impractical to use the NVR as a playback tool as the files will be processed by data analysis software (the nvr/cameras are being used for a fish laboratory experiment).
When the HDD was full, I removed the HDD and replaced it with another to continue recording. The intention was then to access the HDD from my PC, and transfer the stored files to box for use later and allow me to recycle the drive as the next fills for continued recording.
However, windows does not recognise any partition as existing on the HDD, and therefore does not allow me to access any files stored within. The HDD does not show within windows explorer but I have at least been able determine that windows identifies the drive as 'being plugged in' by opening the drive in device manager. Beyond this, I have no access to the contents of the drive.
I am looking for any advice how I can 'recover' the content stored on this drive and what would be the correct method of accessing the drive beyond the NVR.
Many thanks.
