    Why HDD in DVR of security cameras Got Croupted?

    I’m so tired of constantly replacing the HDD in my DVR—it keeps getting corrupted, and my security footage isn’t reliable. I thought the issue might be a bad drive, but even after trying multiple replacements, the problem persists. I’m considering reaching out to a **Los ***** Security camera installation** expert who can help troubleshoot this once and for all. Maybe it’s time for a professional upgrade to ensure my system records smoothly and my footage stays secure. Any advice on how to fix this, or should I go straight to professional help?

      Keep in mind that from what you said (or didn’t say), it is next to impossible for anyone on this or any internet forum to offer advice on why this is happening. Definitely search out a local specialist who deals with security devices like you are using. Good luck.

      I worked on a design team for security DVRs and cameras back in 2000 to about 2010 so my advice is that if a DVR is corrupting video you replace the DVR.

      You didn’t reveal the make, model and age so I can’t check out if it’s one with known issues but yes, a lot of units out did would work fine and then would corrupt the drives.

      The fix is to try another DVR. These can be as cheap as 99USD so no one makes service calls or attempts repair.
