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

also checkout:

and

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

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.
