Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty operating your system, run through the following checklist to see if you can solve the problem.
The DVR will not go into record mode?
Make sure the HDD is locked in with the keys. Also check to make sure the hard drives are set to Master. A diagram located on the Hard Drive Label will show you how to set the drive to master.
DVR only records for a few hours?
If motion recording is not properly set up this problem will arise. The recommended motion set up for maximum video storage (HDD).
1)Press the menu button, and use the JOG Dial to traverse through the menu until Motion Setting Menu is reached.
2)Under the OP option, select the cameras or channels that you want to record on motion detection and turn them on the ON position.
3)Set the desired Alarm Record and Quality to your preference. (NOTE: Alarm record is representing the IPS recorded when motion is detected on a camera)
4)From this page you can also press the arrows to pull up and edit the masking grid. Exit out of the Motion menu when you are finished.
5)Next use the JOG Dial to traverse until Normal Record Setting menu is reached.
6)Set the Normal Speed at a lower recording speed (IPS) anywhere between
7)There is also the option to record
8)Lastly, you must make sure the REC light is continually illuminated.
**Explanation: The DVR will record at a lower IPS when there is no motion, which will conserve HDD space. When motion is detected by a camera, the DVR will record at a higher IPS. This will insure a higher resolution during motion events play back.
