In order to export video from a Speco Technologies recorder (NVR/DVR) to a USB flash drive, the drive must be formatted FAT32.
FAT32 is a file system that can be read by both Mac and PC computers. It's also the most compatible file system for older and modern computers, gaming consoles, and other devices with a USB port.
These instructions are specific to Windows 10
Step:1
Insert the USB flash drive into an available USB port on your computer.
- To access File Explorer or Disk Management, right-click the File Explorer icon on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Step:2
- Locate the USB drive that requires reformatting among the listed volumes. It's crucial to accurately identify the correct USB drive to prevent accidentally formatting a different drive.
Step:3
- Right-click on the USB drive and select “Format” from the menu that appears. This will bring up a new window.
- Choose the file system and configure additional settings. Completing this step will bring you closer to preparing the drive for use.
Step:4
- A "Format" window opens. Here, click the "File System" drop-down menu and choose "FAT32." Optionally, configure other options. Then, click "Start."
- When the drive is Formatted, it will be in Fat32 format and can be used on the recorder.
