I got a HDD out of a CCTV that had (possibly) video of a assult that happened on a property of mine
The issue:
Checked it on the CCTV it self and the video jumps form XX:XX:00 to XX:ZZ:00
Now i pulled the drive but it has no "recognizable filesystem"
i did a hex dump and there is 149.XXGB of data on it but i cant view it on the PC
Any ideas on how to get this footage off in some view able format?
OP here :
The Pic is of the ARM cpu on the main board
More info needed OP, what system, what HDD, how is it setup, brands, etc
DVR/CCTV is a Clover 17"COMBO DVR 4Chn
HDD is Seagate DB35.2 160GB
Look at HDD on Win10 With With OS Forensics & DME Forensic DVR software
Try it on a Linux system. See if it has any recognizable filesystem or at least MBR/GPT.
Also Tried with puppy ( Hirens With Parted mag.)
gives me a invalid parameters
>gives me a invalid parameters
What gives you invalid paramters?
See if fdisk or gdisk is able to spit out a partition table.
Back sticker
The info on the HD is probably encrypted.
This is common on TV HDs.
WTF is the point of being able to hot swap then???
im about to throw the fucking thing away lol
it says " unrecognized disk label"
when i use parted
dumptext DOT c0m/m0iS7xH7
This is the term readout
Which one is the DVR drive?
where did you steal that thing
>clover
Is this /our CCTV brand/?
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB
i think sams club like 18765165 years ago
Yes
Trying to mount /dev/sda doesn't work I assume?
Try copying the first few blocks of it to a file then running 'file' on it. It might tell you a little bit about it.
You can also try "gpart" (not gparted) to try to guess partitions.
have you tried turning it on and off?

So you stole a CCTV system years ago, you've been recording your property with it, but you've never even tried to view the recordings you've been making for years??
yes.......
Next step is out the window
I did notice that the HDD that replaced the 160 with is kinda iffy....
you should use a full fat kernel distribution so you have all kernel modules at your disposal.
do hdparm and then install binwalk and run it.
some CCTV footage is encrypted only playable on "specialised" media players, try that maybe
it wasnt stolen XD
yes i have viewed but it writes over and over and over and i wanted to pull this drive before it happens
now i went to view the date and time and it jumps around form say 22:02:00 to 22:18:00
but when i brought it up on the PC
(software is long gone)it would play fine with there software
Dumptext has blocked me and I'm not even European. Upload it to pastebin like a normal person. You should use photorec to pull the video from the drive. It will ignore any filesystem and look for file headers only.

sounds like bad sectors
Try installing gentoo
