Hikvision external DVD writer

Recommended Posts

Hi guys. 

Does anyone know of an external DVD writer that can be used with hikvision nvrs/dvrs preferably a slimline model. Most of the units We fit tend to not have built in writers so a backup has become a two step process. We are now having to burn to USB stick then use a laptop to burn to disc.

'I have contacted hikvision and they sent me a list of compatible writers but I think the list is old as iv searched for them online and most of them are no longer available to buy. We are not able to even buy loads of cheap USB sticks as the NHS trusts and local councils we work for block these on their staffs pcs 

 

Cheers

We deal a lot with mental health so they have a lot of incidents (a few a day)that need to be backed up onto DVD for tribunals police etc. It's not the occasional one or I wouldn't bother.
