Could I run a usb a a hard drive my cctv dvr box?
I was a bit curious about if you could run a usb for a hard drive for any dvr system as every dvr needs a hard drive? Could this happen.

Hi @taza ,
Your system has SATA port connections to the HDDs (up to 8TB storage) so you would need to find some sort of sata to usb adapter plus power arrangement for the USB HDD if you wanted to connect a USB HDD to the SATA port.
The USB port on the unit is only for backing up from the drives or backing up live feeds that will be stored on the SATA HDD as well, so a USB HDD should work but only as a backup drive
You can also connect up to 8 NAS (Network Attached Storage) disks for more storage if you need to.
You probably already have it but here is the User Manual

I have no expertise in camera systems, but I'm pretty sure you can upgrade the internal HDD. as for an external usb connected one, you could connect a usb flash drive, if the DVR can read/write the flash drive it can probably read/write a USB HDD.

I was under the impression that hard drives from a PC could be used but fall apart quicker due to the different type of use in a DVR.

Hi normanspencernelson,
Looking at the user guide (see answer below) if you connect the dvr to a router via ethernet and then connect NAS disc system to the router the pvr should be able to connect to them for extra storage (see p.139)
