Troubleshooting

NVR does not power on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the NVR and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet.

Cannot connect cameras

Verify cameras are powered on and connected to the same network as the NVR. Check camera IP addresses and ensure they are discoverable by the NVR. Consult the camera's manual for network configuration.

No video feed on monitor

Check that the HDMI or VGA cable is securely connected to both the NVR and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source. Confirm NVR is outputting at a compatible resolution (e.g., 1080p).

Remote access not working

Confirm the NVR is connected to the internet and has a valid IP address. Check the Hik-connect or DDNS settings on the NVR and ensure they are configured correctly. Verify that port forwarding is set up correctly on your router if not using P2P.

Playback is choppy or freezing

Reduce the number of channels being played back simultaneously or lower the playback resolution. Ensure the network connection is stable if streaming playback remotely. Check the NVR's hard drive health.
