Unformat a CCTV 1TB sata hard disk

I have an Adata CCTV HDR with a 1TB sata drive & 8 cameras attached.
It was accidentally formatted & I need to recover some video footage.
I don't know what file format it is in?
I removed the drive & have tried to use NTFS & FAT recovery software on my Windows pc but no data shows up?
My Windows & Linux pc's can see the drive but I cant get any data/video form it.
Any ideas?

I tried testdisk  from a pc with Ubuntu & it could see the drive but couldn't detect the filesystem! I tried all the options. I also got on Adata & they said "It may be possible to recover something from it but it would require a specialist data recovery service"
