When a DVR stops recording, switching it off immediately protects the footage still on the disk. A real case from the Stellar Kolkata lab shows how data recovery experts rebuilt a week of CCTV footage from a partly overwritten 1 TB WD drive through specialised <b>DVR data recovery<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A CCTV camera never blinks, but the DVR behind it has a short memory. Once the disk fills up, it starts overwriting its oldest footage, and the loss goes unnoticed until a particular recording becomes important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a business owner in Kolkata, that day came when the DVR refused to play the recordings they needed. The drive presented three problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a 1 TB WD desktop hard drive from a Hikvision DVR.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of it had already been overwritten.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody knew how much of the required footage had survived.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With every extra hour of recording shrinking the chances of recovery, the drive was brought to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/locations\/data-recovery-kolkata.php?utm_source=branch_kolkata&amp;utm_medium=location\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stellar Data Recovery Kolkata lab<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data recovery experts examined it sector by sector and rebuilt the surviving footage into a playable video.
