Note: Some units have been noted as not friendly to HDD of larger size(1T and 1.5T). Causing un-expected rebooting of the units or HDD failure notice. Please be aware of this issue, as your HDD may not be unusable. GV-DVR016 is one DVR here that has done this, the HDD reformatted works fine in another DVR (GV-W1615). But not in the GV-DVR016, it has happened in other GVI models here as well. Cause unknown, just be aware that the HDD may not be in failure, but other problem with the DVR may be causing it to fail in the DVR.
HDD that have had this problem, ran hotter than normal. They seem to just lock-up like Windows systems.

Be sure to look at the "Site News" page for current changing info and what I'm working on for you.
good info, will there be any updates?
I just bought two machines, would like to hear from other owners about their success with these DVRs
Yes
More info will be added by me hopefully before the end of the month of Nov 2014. Been busy with my other blog accounts the past months. Others have posted questions as well, which I hope to be able to share the answer to in the updates.
Til I able to get this done, take note that power outage can cause problems with the hard drive/s.
I have had to reformat them via windows XP to fat. Then re-install the drives into the GVI DVR's for it's reformatting.
As for hearing from other owners(?), I'll try to setup something for that.

There are fake cameras for sale, for the price of a real camera that provides a record video recording of events. That a fake camera will not.
More cameras with different angles of your property is better that having a fake camera.
IR Cameras also give of different powers, that can effect another camera.
Meaning one IR Camera may provide IR light for another to use. But IR light from one source can effect the other as well in a negative way. This is why you should make camera angle adjust at night time, in some cases.
Also Note that birds / squirrels may find the color of the connectors interesting and may try to feed on them if able. I cover mine with black electrical tape. It also helps to keep out unwanted moister at the same time. Which may cause a short event in system.

will this upgrade work for GVI- DVR016?
I have located the site for Samsung info for the DVR016 in (?) which I spoke of earlier.
I still looking for the model which was made by Samsung, closest to the GVI version.
The GVI GV-DVR016 was built for GVI by Samsung before the GVI AR-****'s. Not after as I said earlier.
I'm building a page for the info, so you can look it over and see for yourself. Here's the link to the page for the info as I work on the info. Please ask questions on that page, so others can see what is going on. And if the info helps with the problems you are having. http://gvidvr.blogspot.com/p/gvi-gv-dvr016.html
