8. Trouble Shooting.
1. Q : After connecting the DVR power, no WiFi AP SSID available, 5 and No.6
indicators lights on panel flashing alternately.
A: The No.5 and No.6 LED indicator light is “Power” and “Run”. If the 2 indicators lights are
flashing alternatively, the DVR missed the ignition signal, please check if the yellow line of the input
power lines has connected with the power positive level, or if it’s the same as the setting of the
effective electrical level in menu settings. (The factory default settings set the high level
effective,that is, it is effective when the yellow ignition signal line is connecting with the power
positive level .)
2. Q: As SD cards’ capacity limited, how to make the videos’ time expand to meet the
requirements of the customers?
A: Reduce the video frame rate, resolution and bit rate, please see 5.2.
3. Q: What is a high level, what is low level?
A: Generally, there are two electrical levels in the car, the power and the ground. Automotive
power voltage with 12V and 24V, we generally call it high level, not the specific voltage value.
Ground of Vehicle is the reference level, accurately is battery negative electrode. We generally call
it low level. For cars with negative switch control (the main switch cut off the connection of the
battery cathode and car chassis ground), the chassis ground connects to the battery anode through
a certain resistance, the chassis ground is not a reference ground anymore. Please see the Appendix
in the back, including the potential analysis diagram against cars with negative switch control.
4. Q: Respectively, what’s the voltage reference range of the high and low level in the
DVR?
A: The voltage range of low level is DC 0V~3V, the high level is DC6V~32V.
5. Q: SD cards or hard drives are OK, but the video recording doesn't work, what
should I do?
A: Please make sure if the default setting of Record Mode is changed from "Automatic" to" Off ",
and whether to modify the DVR to scheduled record mode and the current time is not within the
time period you set.
6. Q: Do your SD Card DVR support the capacity of 64G and above SDXC card?
A: The DVR support the capacities of 64G and above SDXC cards, but currently, DVR doesn’t
support for ExFAT file system completely, we suggest that you format the SDXC card to FAT32 file
system under Windows system before using. You can also download free version “Partition Manager”
or other partition software from the Internet, which can make the process faster and simpler.
7. Q: when the SD card or USB disk inserted the DVR for recording, live images or
playback video (through WiFi) will come to a frequent halt.
A: Please make sure that if your SD card or USB’s writing speed is enough. When the recording
medium’s writing speed is not enough, it will affect the continuity of live video and the real-time
recorded video. Generally the SD card DVR can directly support two kinds of media:
1). SD card. With good writing speed and quality, there are Kingston, Transcent etc. brands on
the market, It is more reliable for its conventional speed values of Class x and operation, it will not
pause even with the highest record data rate on this machine. While other brands’ SD card with the
30 -
uneven quality and serious counterfeit, customers come to meet this problem usually, the fault
disappears after replacing the SD card.
2). USB disk. Because of the cost sensitive reasons, most of USB disks sold on the market are the
products of the USB1.1.Their speed can not meet the data rate of the requirements of the DVR.
Please replace USB2.0 products for the faster speed.
8. Q: Do internal real time clock of the DVR maintained by batteries? If so, how long
will it last?
A: Rechargeable batteries are used for DVR internal real time clock. If the battery is fully
charged and DVR is completely disconnected from the power supply, internal real time clock can
probably last for 1 month.
If a GPS is existing, Sync with GPS Time gives the option to synchronize the DVR system time
with GPS time.
9. Q: How to take out the SD card from the DVR safely?
A: It’s similar to use a SD card or USB disk on the computer, stop the file operation before the
extraction, so as to ensure that the internal files of SD card or USB disk will not be destroyed or lost.
This SD DVR provides a simple and safe way to eject the SD card: before eject the SD card, please
press a small button on the right of the SD card, when you see the yellow indicator light goes OFF,
you can eject your SD card safely.
10. Q: what do the 6 indicator lights representative on the panel of the DVR?
A: Please reference the description in 2.1
11. Q: what kind of player software should use to play back video slots in SD card on
the PC? Why some of them don’t play normally?
A: The DVR recording files is a standard AVI format, video stream compression standard is
senior H. 264.
1. DVR has its own player software, including many special additional feature, such as playing
continuously, fast forward playing, and other quickly locating recording and playing.
2. The recorded files also support general players. Such as VLC (version 1.0.0 and above, free
open source software, can download from the internet), Media Player Classic(version 2009 Build:
3.9. above), or Storm Audio.
12. Q: How to upgrade the DVR program?
A: Please reference the instructions of 5.11
13. Q: Do your DVRs have RS485 control PTZ functions?
A: The DVR will not support PTZ directly. The traditional RS485 is not supported in the High
Definition Video System anymore. The PTZ implementation mode is like the IP Camera, our new HD
camera can support PTZ or ePTZ in the future. Please contact our sales for more information.
14. Q: what is “Power OFF Delay”?
A: Users who need to install DVR often want the DVR to record the images inside and outside
the car for a while after the driver turn the engine off. That is, DVR cannot be turned off after engine
is shutdown, it should be off after record continuously for the specified period of time. This time is
called “Power OFF Delay” time, such as 30 seconds. You can set the time you need on "Car Settings
– Power Off Delay ".
31 -
When the users who need “Power OFF Delay” function, the positive level of the DVR and the
ground should be connected directly (through the fuse) to the cathode and anode of the car battery,
at the same time attach car ignition signal line to the ACC of the car.
Of course, the time of “Power OFF Delay” cannot be set too long, because after the engine
shutdown, mobile DVR entirely depend on the power of the car battery to work, we should prevent
the vehicle can’t start correctly next time if the mobile DVR drained the energy of the car battery.
15. Q: What does the indicator light mean on the wire control L25?
A: The indicator light on the wire control is double color light, red and green. See the following
form for their state.
