Troubleshooting
No image displayed on the monitor after the device is starting up normally.
Possible Reasons
a) No VGA or HDMI connections. b) Connection cable is damaged. c) Input mode of the monitor is incorrect.
Steps
1. Verify the device is connected with the monitor via HDMI or VGA cable.
If not, please connect the device with the monitor and reboot.
2. Verify the connection cable is good.
If there is still no image display on the monitor after rebooting, please check if the connection cable is good, and change a cable to connect again.
3. Verify Input mode of the monitor is correct.
Please check the input mode of the monitor matches with the output mode of the device (e.g. if the output mode of DVR is HDMI output, then the input mode of monitor must be the HDMI input). And if not, please modify the input mode of monitor.
4. Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
There is an audible warning sound “Di-Di-Di-Didi” after a new bought device starts up.
Possible Reasons
a) No HDD is installed in the device. b) The installed HDD has not been initialized. c) The installed HDD is not compatible with the device or is broken-down.
Steps
1. Verify at least one HDD is installed in the device.
1) If not, please install the compatible HDD.
Note:
Please refer to the “Quick Operation Guide” for the HDD installation steps.
2) If you don’t want to install a HDD, select “Menu>Configuration > Exceptions”, and uncheck the
Audible Warning checkbox of “HDD Error”.
2. Verify the HDD is initialized.
1) Select “Menu>HDD>General”.
2) If the status of the HDD is “Uninitialized”, please check the checkbox of corresponding HDD and click the “Init” button.
3. Verify the HDD is detected or is in good condition.
1) Select “Menu>HDD>General”.
2) If the HDD is not detected or the status is “Abnormal”, please replace the dedicated HDD according to the requirement.
4. Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.
1) If it is solved, finish the process.

If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
The IPC frequently goes online and offline and the status of it displays as “Disconnected”.
Possible Reasons
a) The IPC and the HDVR versions are not compatible. b) Unstable power supply of IPC. c) Unstable network between IPC and HDVR. d) Limited flow by the switch connected with IPC and HDVR.
Steps
1. Verify the IPC and the HDVR versions are compatible.
1) Enter the IPC Management interface “Menu > Camera > Camera>IP Camera”, and view the firmware version of connected IPC.
2) Enter the System Info interface “Menu>Maintenance>System Info>Device Info”, and view the firmware version of HDVR.
2. Verify power supply of IPC is stable.
1) Verify the power indicator is normal.
2) When the IPC is offline, please try the ping command on PC to check if the PC connects with the IPC.
3. Verify the switch is not flow control.
Check the brand, model of the switch connecting IPC and HDVR, and contact with the manufacturer of the switch to check if it has the function of flow control. If so, please turn it down.
4. Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 4.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
When there is no monitor connected to the HDVR and you add the IPC via web browser, the IPC status
183
User Manual of Digital Video Recorder
shows as Connected; and then you connect the HDVR with the monitor via VGA or HDMI interface and reboot the device, there is black screen with the mouse cursor.
Connect the HDVR with the monitor before startup via VGA or HDMI interface, and manage the IPC to connect with the device locally or remotely, the status of IPC displays as Connected. And then connect the device with the CVBS, and there is black screen either.
Possible Reasons:
After connecting the IPC to the HDVR, the image is output via the main spot interface by default.
Steps:
1. Enable the output channel.
2. Select “Menu > Configuration > Live View > View”, and select video output interface in the drop-down list and configure the window you want to view.
Notes:
1) The view settings can only be configured by the local operation of HDVR.
2) Different camera orders and window-division modes can be set for different output interfaces separately, and digits like “D1”and “D2” stands for the channel number, and “X” means the selected window has no image output.
3. Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
Live view stuck when video outputs locally.
Possible Reasons:
a) Poor network between device and IPC, and there exists packet loss during the transmission. b) The frame rate has not reached the real-time frame rate.
Steps:
1. Check the parameters of Main Stream (Continuous) and Main Stream (Event).
Select “Menu > Record > Parameters > Record”, and set the resolution of Main Stream (Event) the same as the one of Main Stream (Continuous).
2. Verify the frame rate is real-time frame rate.
Select “Menu > Record > Parameters > Record”, and set the Frame rate to Full Frame.
3. Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
When using the device to get the live view audio, there is no sound or there is too much noise, or the volume is too low.
Possible Reasons:
a) Cable between the pickup and camera is not connected well; impedance mismatches or incompatible. b) The stream type is not set as “Video & Audio”. c) The encoding standard is not supported with device.
Steps:
1. Verify the cable between the pickup and camera is connected well; impedance matches and compatible.
2. Verify the setting parameters are correct.
Select “Menu > Record > Parameters > Record”, and set the Stream Type as “Audio & Video”.
3. Verify the audio encoding standard of the camera is supported by the HDVR.
HDVR supports G722.1 and G711 standards, and if the encoding parameter of the input audio is not one of the previous two standards, you can log in the IPC to configure it to the supported standard.

4. Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
The image gets stuck when HDVR is playing back by single or multi-channel IPC.
Possible Reasons:
a) Poor network between HDVR and IPC, and there exists packet loss during the transmission. b) The frame rate is not the real-time frame rate. c) The HDVR supports up to 16-channel synchronize playback at the resolution of 4CIF, if you want a
16-channel synchronize playback at the resolution of 720p, the frame extracting may occur, which leads to a slight stuck.
Steps:
1. Verify the frame rate is real-time frame rate.
Select “Menu > Record > Parameters > Record”, and set the Frame Rate to “Full Frame”.
2. Verify the hardware can afford the playback.
Reduce the channel number of playback.
Select “Menu > Record > Encoding > Record”, and set the resolution and bitrate to a lower level.
3. Reduce the number of local playback channel.
Select “Menu > Playback”, and uncheck the checkbox of unnecessary channels.
4. Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
No record file found in the device local HDD, and the prompt “No record file found” pops up when you search the record files.
Possible Reasons:
a) The time setting of system is incorrect. b) The search condition is incorrect. c) The HDD is error or not detected.
Steps:
1. Verify the system time setting is correct.
Select “Menu > Configuration > General > General”, and verify the “Device Time” is correct.
2. Verify the search condition is correct.
Select “Playback”, and verify the channel and time are correct.
3. Verify the HDD status is normal.
Select “Menu > HDD > General” to view the HDD status, and verify the HDD is detected and can be read and written normally.
4. Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.
If it is solved, finish the process.
If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.
