Can you post a binary file dump of the first 1,000 hdd sectors ?
(Wh, DD, whathever tool suits you)

there is a format converter on this page that may lead to some answers:
http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/tools_82.html

possibly look through this software for copyright stuff or nuggets that say what format. looks like at least some of it uses fat32

Thanks guys

@-BR- there is nothing in the first 1K sectors except for sector 1 and 2, everything else is filled with 0x00
regarding sector 1 and 2, will post it later.

@ HaQue, I know about the format converter, but I don't know what's the initial file type format.

@MindMergepk, nothing to post, sector 0 is filled with 0x00

[MindMergepk]

[jermy]

You didn't mention the DVR model, but if necessary, we should be able to help recovering the data from it remotely.
Please feel free to contact me.

Hikvision uses hikfat filesystem which is supported by DVRexaminer

WOW, doing it manually will be cheaper.
