System Requirements
  • Windows7 or Windows10 PC
  • Idrive D8 USB Hard Drive Adapter

EXT3 driver for windows - https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/files/Ext2fsd/ NO!

This driver is garbage and causes blue screens of death on windows 7 & 10. Not an option
(Used to access the Idrive D8 filesystem (Linux format)on a windows PC)
  • Video Playback Software (VLC Player?)(MDVRPlayer) Sort it out



Using DiskInternals Linux Reader

Start> Programs>DiskInternals Linux Reader

Plug the Hard drive or SD card into the windows machine's USB Port.


This is a Linux file system which windows cannot read so windows will ask you if you want to format the disk. You must select Cancel or your data will be destroyed.

Video files naming and identification

The disk will have one folder for each Date of recording Example: 2017-07-06

Video Segments in these folders will have names that indicate the date and time of the recording.

Example: H20170706-091745NAN1P0.avi breaks down into:

H20170706- (Year, Month, Day)
091745 (Hour, Minute, Second) of video start time
NAN (Figure it out)
1P0 (Channel number 1) 2P0 (Channel number 2) etc. (look into all channels in one file and select what we want for default)



Copying video recording files

On PC copy and paste to a new location. (Hard drive is read only on the PC)

Use Remote control and thumb drive? - figure it out

Use Wired network connection (only available on the back of unit so not a good idea.
