Countermeasures

Recording does not work.

y

If your player does not display a Live image at all, that indicates 

recording does not work so first check if you see an image on the 

screen.

y

Recording does not work if the recording settings are not properly 

configured.

1) Manual Record: Press the [REC] button on the remote control to start 

recording.

2) Scheduled Record: Specify a desired time in Menu – Record - 

Recording Schedule. Recording will start at the specified time.

 - <Continuous> Record: Recording will proceed in any conditions at 

the specified time.

 - <Event> Record: When an event occurs, recording will perform 

only if the event is of alarm, motion detection and video loss.  

If there is no event found, recording will not perform.

 - <Continuous / Event> Record: If there is no event found, 

Continuous recording will perform. Whereas, if an event occurs, 

Event recording will perform.

The image quality of the recording data is not good.

y

Increase the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / 

Resolution.

1) Resolution: Select a bigger size when specifying the recording size.

(4CIF>2CIF>CIF) 

The recording image in the CIF format shows a deteriorated quality as 

it is enlarged from a small-sized image.

2) Record Quality: Specify a bigger level for the recording quality.

y

If you increase the resolution and the recording quality, the data size 

increases accordingly. So the HDD will be filled faster. Overwriting will 

overwrite the existing data so recording will proceed at a shorter interval.
