Device Identification

[kfogel]

Hi guys,

 

I was pointed to this forum to hopefully find out a bit more about a device I found when moving into a new home.

The house has a CCTV system with 4 cameras installed, which all link together in a DVR kind of thing, which feeds a monitor. The whole system is probably 7-8 years old. The recording device has a HDD and a CDRW drive, but there is no branding or identification to be found anywhere.

 

It is all working, but the device emits a rattling noise, probably coming from the CDRW drive or the fans. I would ideally like to find a manual, to learn a bit more about setup, and to be able to use all of the functions, e.g. a network link.

 

Here are a couple of pictures, maybe someone has seen something similar previously.

 

Many thanks

I dont know the machine as there are lots of rebranded ones about, but you're probably right about it being 8 ish years old. It has one hard drive of 250mb so small by todays standards and the noise will amost certainly be the fan. If it works and you're happy with it then fine but a new DVR with current CMS would be an improvement.

I had to deal with one very similar to this a while back, though it had a jog dial to the right of the direction buttons. There were hundreds of models using the same firmware (google "01p-2358-001008-ar01"). Lots of people not sure which one it was.

 

This looks like it:

This was the manual that was close enough for the one I worked with:

"JPEG 2000 DVR" is also a good search term.

 

It ended up getting ditched as it was just not very good and more work than a new one.

Thanks very much for your help, I will have a look at the manual and shall google a bit more. I could / should have thought of searching for the model number
