Can I transfer old hard drive from NVR to new NVR?

[L Bishop]

Hi, I currently have a Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1, that I will be replacing tomorrow with a HIKVISION DS-7608NI-I2/8P 4K 12MP POE NVR 8 CHANNELS 8 POE PORTS.

My old NVR has a Seagate 4TB Hard Drive. I want to fit that to my new NVR, how do I go about wiping it ?

Thanks

Hi @L Bishop

There shouldn't be any issue swapping a HDD from one NVR to another, once you've turned the old NVR off just unplug the HDD and plug it into the new NVR before you power it on.

Once in the new NVR, you will likely have to format the old HDD so if there is any important footage you want to save from the old NVR setup you will need to export that before removing the HDD.

That’s fantastic, thanks for the reply

I set the nvr up via sadp. But I want to have both my front and rear on my tv screen at the same time.

All I can get is it switching. Is there a way to alter that? Thanks
