CCTV G-RAID Data Recovery and HP Spectre Laptop

In this article we talk about data recovery from CCTV, a G-RAID thunderbolt, an HP Spectre laptop and a SATA hard drive that is not responding.

Retrieve footage from CCTV

cctv nvr recoveryI need to talk to you about a CCTV issue.
I tried to retrieve footage on my 16 channel NVR, which had a 1TB sata drive, which at the time recorded 8 IP cams. I found that I could go back to footage from 16th Oct.
I actually need footage of the 15th Oct.
Would the footage be irretrievable ? It is most likely overwritten but I’m hoping that maybe the NVR would start to overrwrite different parts of the HD and thus it there is a likelihood that it is retrievable?
The NVR is a cheap unbranded made in China 16 channel NVR.
It records in H.264.

No files on G-Raid Thunderbolt

G-Technology G-Raid Thunderbolt Drive is recognised, but you cannot see any files as it just keeps loading. The drive then starts to crash finder, which it continues doing until you unplug it. You sometimes might have to restart the mac to get it working normally. It sounds as if the disk inside the drive is trying to start spinning but cannot.

HP Spectre laptop – Boot device not found

This is the type of drive: https://www.memory4less.com/samsung-pm981-1tb-pci-express-3-0-x4-ssd-mz-vlb1t00
It’s in an HP Spectre Laptop.
After laptop said “Boot Device Not Found” I opened the laptop. The SSD is getting very very hot.

SATA hard drive whirring and buzzing

I work in IT and I have a Customer’s SATA Laptop Hard Drive that they require accessing (If Possible) I have removed the hard drive from the Laptop and have put it into an external Hard Drive Caddy and is just whirring and buzzing every few seconds. It isn’t being recognized by Explorer or by any file recovery software. Could you quote on a possible repair and recovery please?
