Why can't get video after adding camera?
Why the system IP address information of NVR manager screen shows
"0.0.0.0"?
Wrong user name and password
Wrong IP address
Firewall or Anti-Virus software blocks the communication port required on camera
(ex: 554 for Axis)
Network wire or power cable unplug
Total camera bandwidth is over network bandwidth.
The possible root cause might be:
There are two network interface cards in the system but HD NVR always uses the newly
added card by default. Disable one of the card and change IP setting if necessary then
restart the HD NVR service and HD NVR Manager software.
The network interface of NVR has not been connect to network switch yet. Please connect
the network interface cable to network switch then restart the HD NVR service and HD NVR
Manager software.
Why cannot find any camera using Auto Discovery method?
The IP address of camera does not have the same subnet with HD NVR (Ethernet card).
The camera may not be supported by HD NVR, please check the supported cameras list at
GVD website "http://www.gvdigital.com/support_device.html".

Troubleshooting FAQ (cont’d)
How to install the Anti-Virus software for GVD HD NVR?
Before installing Anti-Virus software, please follow the instructions to disable the system
protection function first (refer to page 12) and enable it after finishing software installation
and configuration.
Since HD NVR writes enormous amount of data to recording hard drives, if antivirus
software scan those hard drives at the same time, it will seriously degraded the
system performance and even cause the system to crash and video data loss.
For those reasons, user must setup antivirus software not to scan the recording hard
drives to avoid degraded performance of the system.
HD NVR and cameras use port 80 as their transmission protocol, and the port was
scanned by Anti-Virus software as well. User must configure Anti-Virus software not
to scan the port or disable the HTTP checking function to avoid some Anti-Virus
software from creating enormous data files.
