Hikvision Abnormal Hard Drive Error (Detailed Video On How To Fix It)

In this video I show to fix the Hikvision Abnormal Hard Drive error.
Get the Seagate Surveillance Hard Drive: amzn.to/44cY7VH (Amazon Affiliate Link)
The Hikvision NVR or DVR beeps to let you know that something is wrong with the hard drive (HDD), so it's important to check the cables and also run the applications for Bad Sector Detection and SMART Test.
Watch the video to the endo to understand how to fix this Abnormal Hard Drive Issue.

This video really helped me thanks, my hdd kept filling up too quick which stopped recording I done the self test and passed but the all evaluation failed so I done key area test it was all green so I done full detection and it’s stopped because the error count was too high so I am going to replace the hdd with the one you recommended hopefully that fixes the problem

What to do if the status of my storage says Repairing and I tried formating it by clicking Init but the initializing only goes 01% and always rebooting automatically after that.

Hi, I replaced what appeared to be a defective HDD with new one. The new HDD will not initialize , it will reach 20% and then status will return abnormal, tried rebooting DVR with and without new HDD still same issue. Any advice for this issue?

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Are you using a surveillance hdd such as seagate or western digital?

[@Nickmor83]

Seagate@@bestsecuritydevices

[@Nickmor83]

Hi I am using Seagate

[@Nickmor83]

Hi have had time to think of a solution?

[@luistantaovdg]

O meu está do mesmo jeito . Coloquei um HD novo da Western Digital Purple e fica assim : anormal

[@ASPIreVChannel]

[@sephir8244]

My hikvision doesnt have that smart settings and bad sector detection

[@herykalt8290]

maaf mas mau tanya, aku baru pertama pasang cctv, dan pake hilook, setelah dirakit, hddnya abnormal, itu kenapa ya, solusinya gimana?
terima kasih sebelumnya

[@Kenabukanyo]

The thing is that my HDD isn't even initializing, it stays at 20% and then the status changes to "abnormal" again.

[@bestsecuritydevices]

Perhaps the hard drive is defective, have you tested a new one?

[@Kenabukanyo]

I can't try a new one because the one I talk about is at my workplace. We don't have any spares. Anyway, I tried and managed to update it to a new version, still hoping it's a glitch. It's not. I told my manager about it anyway. We'll replace it soon. @@bestsecuritydevices

Hello @kena
I have the same problem, it does not increase more than 20% and then exit
How did you solve this please advise me if i should buy a new one or it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance

[@Kenabukanyo]

The hard drive was changed. It was the only solution.
