Bug

Solution

I cannot boot up the device.

Please press and hold the RESET button down for at least five seconds to restore factory default setup.

Micro SD card write times

Do not set the Micro SD card as the storage media to store the scheduled record file. It may damage the Micro SD card’s reliability.

I cannot use the disk as the storage media.

The HDD disk information details may show either ‘Hibernation’ or ‘Capacity is 0’, if it does please format it first (Via Web).

I cannot upgrade the device via network.

When network upgrade operation fails, you can use port 3800 to continue upgrade.

Recommended Micro SD card brand

Kingston 4GB, Kingston 1GB, Kingston 16GB, Transcend 16GB, SanDisk 1G, SanDisk 4G

Usually we recommend the 4GB (or higher) high speed card as the slower speed cards may result in data loss.

Audio function

Please use active device for the audio monitor input, otherwise there will be no audio coming from the client-end.

To guarantee setup update

After you modified the important setup, please reboot the device via the software to make sure the setup has been updated to the storage medium.

Power adapter

The general power adapter has been designed to work within the 0℃ to 40 ℃ temperature range. If the power supply is left in an environment where the temperature is outside this range, then the power supplied to the camera will become unstable.

Please replace with an industry-level power adapter if is to be used in a harsh environment.

I cannot fix the bracket firmly.

Please use the S3 inner hex wrench to secure the rear bracket firmly. After the installation please use your hands to test to see if the camera is firmly in place or not.
