Frequently Asked Questions

address number e.g. 008.

be operational.
b) How do I cascade more than one DVR?
Where an application of seventeen or more cameras is required, two DVR’
s can be used to view the
cameras. It is possible to set up more than one DVR on a network. By dedicating each DVR on the
network an individual IP address makes it possible to view the DVR’s via the network software.
c) What to do first.
With the power switched off, confirm that the inner wiring connections are correct
and at least one HDD is connected (the capacity of it should be over 3GB). Then
connect the power cable. The DVR then checks the last function status. If it was shut
down normally, the DVR will go into the stand-by state. (The ACT light is on,
POWER is off, and the system only responds to the POWER key), otherwise, the
system restores to the previous function state and continues.
d) What the bleeper sound means when normally starting the machine?
When the machine is started successfully, it emits a short bleep.
When the HDD cannot be identified, a long bleep is emitted.
When communication with the controller panel is abnormal, the DVR emits one long bleep
followed by two short bleeps.
e) What recording methods are available
Timed recording, video motion detection recording, manual recording and external event trigger
recording. Confirm each setting is correct and that they do not conflict with each other. Note that
video motion detection recording and timed recording must not be set to cover the same time.
f) The indicator light is flashing while recording:
Check the external video input signal. The light flashes when the video input signal is a non-
standard type.
This problem can also be caused by the HDD speed being to slow. If this is the case, the HDD
should be changed.

USB data storage devices including USB memory sticks, CD writers (both internal and external)
and other USB data storage devices. USB 1.1 memory sticks have been tested successfully. Not all
memory sticks are compatible. It will interface directly through a P.C, or via a LAN or via a high
speed Broadband link.
h) Why is there no ventilation fan?

intelligent software programming i.e. if there is no operation for 10mins, the un-working disks go
into standby mode.
i) How do I know if the DVR has had an alarm activation?
