Re: JPEG2000 8 cameras backup issues

Aaron,

The JPEG2000 stand alone DVRs do not support USB hard drives. They only support thumb drives and yes the backup does take a while to perform. If this backing up hours or days of video is an important requirement for your surveillance system, you may want to consider upgrading to a PC based DVR like the ones these with NUUO DVR cards & software:

They perform large backups quote well to external hard drives or over a network to a network drive.

You can also use a DVR card and build your own PC:

Please let us know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks.
