    Zosi X6P3AV - WD purple 2TB failing to format

    Check the Output on the power supply going to the DVR. The output for this DVR should be 12V and at least 3A. Then try plugging that power supply directly into the wall instead of a power strip, power surge, or battery backup. If none of these things work, you might test the hard drive with a...

    Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2/16P died - no boot

    It should be a POE issue. I have seen poor connections, particularly issues such as corrosion/verdigris on the RJ45 camera connector socket cause odd POE symptoms. Have you proven, perhaps with another camera, that your HikVision NVR is in fact not outputting POE?

    Parameter error

    Check to see if the network lights are flashing at the back of the nvr. Check your plug connection at the camera, do a pairs test. Plug the affected camera directly into the back of the nvr with a pre made patch lead. Swap out the camera from another channel. A bent cat 5 Cable can also test...

    WD Red died. Should I get WD Purple or Seagate Skyhawk ?

    I just do not trust seagate... had a few fail in the past whereas, WD has been pretty reliable. Of course, I can't speak to the Seagate Skyhawk but I do use the WD purple. No issues yet.

    WD Purple new -> Dead

    In all probability, it is the SATA to USB Bridge electronics failure ( the HDD itself may be good). Generally, it requires formatting the drive. Have you tried to format the disk with diskpart? If you didn't back up important files, you can go with a third-party data recovery software first. I...

    Need Help Recovering Corrupt Video files and got into an Accident

    Lady yesterday driving like an idiot made a lane change into my son's GTS and denied she made the lane change. Same thing happened about a year ago and the dash cam video settled that dispute real quick. We went to play the video from his Mobius Actioncam and no recent video flies are showing...

    COVID-19 Response: New Jersey Urgently Needs COBOL Programmers (Yes, You Read That Correctly)

    The problem is more than just a Lack of COBOL programmers. But the general unwillingness of Management to hire non-COBOL programmers to do the work. Most skilled developers really don't care about the language, when given a new language to code in, they will pick it up rather fast. Also, there...

    low profile, wide angle illumination

    There are low light, wide angle lenses, but they cost a lot of money. There's a 20mm f/2.8 ($450) and even that might not be wide enough for you considering the crop factor. While the 50mm is fast enough at f/1.8, I don't think it's wide enough either. The straight-forward answer to your...
