Dm Eco4: Defaulting Hard Drive?

Guys,

 

Got hold of an Eco4 as part of an upgrade. Needs a new fan (which dont cost much) but I was hoping to knock it on afterwards.

 

I obviously dont want to sell it with a hard drive full of images. Is there a way of defaulting the hard drive from the DVR? I have done a reset from the menus but that only seems to default programming.

Easiest way is put it on its highest record setting, attach a camera, loop the output of cam1 to cam2 and cam 2 to cam3 etc, point the camera at the wall and leave it recording until it fills up

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

I did think about doing it this way, or leave it powered up with no camera connected so that it records a black screen for a couple of weeks. Assuming that the older ones record with no camera inputs?

Remove hdd, formatt in normal pc.

Reconnect and the dvr should re formatt the hdd when it boots.

This will not completely remove the images.

I'd either use a killdisc like program in a desktop or record nothing on highest frame rate for a while like above.

Do not format the drive, the OS is on it as James says
