Flash drive connects OK, sort of
Yes, a flash drive works -- but the transfer process is buggy. If I try to load 900 pictures the DVR crashes. When transferring pictures, the progress report sticks long before all the pictures transfer. Although the transfer process completed when I loaded a smaller number of photos from my USB drive. During transfer, the DVR creates folders, but I have not carefully checked the capacity of each folder. The DVR does not recognize the folder structure on the USB drive. It seems like the DVR flattens the USB folders and creates one big flat file.
The user guide entry for Multimedia clearly states a camera can be connected to the USB port on the DVR. Page 91. There is no mention of camera drivers. However, a small easily overlooked comment reveals that some cameras and flash drives may not be compatible.
