And to throw a more general problem into the mix (nice to know you are still 
alive out there) I ran across a problem a while back where the security 
office where I was corporate records manager ha moved from tape to DVR and 
once the DVR reached capacity it would record over starting at the beginning 
in a loop fashion.  We had to change the schedule I believe so that 
incidents requiring further action would have to be off-loaded from the main 
DVR.  Further, the capacity of the DVR would/could change based on the 
number of cameras inputting to it, so unlike a tape from a single camera, 
you could not say it would last for x days and then shelve the tape.
