FAQ: NVR does not recognize the hard disk drive (HDD)

1. The video recorder does not support hot swapping when connected to the hard disk.
When the NVR is powered off, connect the hard disk and then power on to start the
recorder;
2. Check whether the hard disk is properly powered and whether the SATA data cable is
connected normally. You can replace the data cable to check whether the hard disk is
normally powered.
3. It may be the compatibility problem of the hard disk and the device, try to replace other
hard disks; it is recommended to use WD Purple Surveillance Drive.
4. Check if the power adapter used is the standard, it may be caused by insufficient power
of the power adapter. 1TB hard drive uses 2A power supply, 4TB needs to use 3A or larger
power supply.
5. It may be that the hard disk is damaged and cannot be used normally. Connect it to a
computer or other recorder equipment to test whether the hard disk is damaged.
6. Restore the default setting of the video recorder, and confirm that the firmware of the
NVR recorder has been updated to the latest version.
7. After the above steps are confirmed, it is still not recognized, you can contact Seculink
service team to process.
3. Record Mode

Choose “Record Mode” by right-click the mouse, the NVR records 24 hours by default. As

Stop: Stop recording
4. Playback

Right-Click and Click the “playback”,choose the channel and day that you want to play.
And Click the “Search”, As the pictures show:

FAQ: No image during playback

1. View the channel management-channel status, display the current resolution and the
maximum resolution, the current resolution is the resolution of the camera, and the
maximum resolution is the video recorder resolution;

2. If the resolution of the camera is higher than the resolution of the video recorder, the
real-time preview screen is the sub stream, and you can see that the screen is normal.

3. During playback, the main stream of the camera is played back, the resolution is higher
than the channel resolution, so there is no image display.

4. The resolution of the camera and video recorder can be adjusted to solve this problem.
5. Email Setup

8.Channel Management

POE NVR will automatically add IPC to NVR by default. If you need to manually
add device, please operate as the following:

8.1 Channel Type

Channel type,displaying and setting channel mode supported by video recorder and
displaying maximum playback channels of all channel modes at the meantime.

Channel status is to show the status of all the digital channel. When there is what existing,
status including Max Resolution, This Resolution, Connection Status.

FAQ: Video recorder preview without image

1. First, see if the camera is successfully added to the video recorder. If it succeeds, check
the channel status in the system settings-channel management-channel.
If the resolution is recognized, there is no problem with the camera.

2.If the resolution here is unknown, or the device link status is not online, it means that the
camera may be offline, or the password is not filled in. You can access the camera
separately to check whether the camera is normal.

3. Check if the resolution of the channel mode on the video recorder is smaller than that
of the camera. For example, the camera is 1080P while the channel mode of the video
recorder is 960P, so there will be no image.

4. Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit
rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth
is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video cannot play well. You can reset
the bit rate on Settings-> Record-> Stream.

8.2 Camera Manage

Right click the mouse on the monitoring interface, Quick Add button, you can enter into the
camera management.

Then, click on Device Search to locate the IP address for your POE cameras that should
be connected to the same network as your NVR.

A list of all connected cameras will appear. Select the camera from the list by clicking on
the checkbox, click Add to add the camera into the Added Devices menu. When it has
been added, the camera will be ready to view on your NVR.
FAQ - POE NVR can't output images
Our NVR can't output images when connected to cameras of other manufacturers.

1. Confirm whether the added IPC supports ONVIF protocol, confirm the ONVIF port of
IPC.
2. Confirm whether the IP address of IPC and NVR are in the same LAN and in the same
network segment.
3. Confirm that the maximum supported resolution of the channel is greater than the
resolution resolution of the current IPC.
4. If NVR channel management prompt password error, contact IPC camera manufacturer
to confirm the camera password.
5. Confirm the NVR channel status to see if the channel is connected and the resolution
has been recognized.
6. The channel is connected, the resolution is unknown, confirm whether the front-end and
back-end firmware have been updated;
7. Restore the default setting of the NVR, add the IP camera again, or you can try to add it
manually.
8. I have tried the above problems and solutions, contact Seculink Technology.

FAQ: Connect Hikvision or Dahua Camera

Prompts wrong password when connecting Hikvision or Dahua camera

1. After upgrading the password of Hikvision device, it must be more than 8-digit
password (mixed numbers and letters). Access Hikvision's camera, the security service
setting, cancel the illegal login authentication.

2. Login Dahua's camera, network settings-connection-onvif-login verification, turn off it.

9. Alarm Setting

9.1 Motion detection

By analyzing the video image, when the system detects that a mobile signal that
reaches the preset sensitivity occurs, the motion detection alarm is activated, and the
linkage function is activated.

The motion detection function of the network channel and the full network channel
mode of the full analog channel and the mixed channel mode is different: the network
channel motion detection alarm not only needs to enable the motion detection function on
the local end, but also the corresponding front-end network camera will also move. The
detection function is enabled, otherwise the motion detection alarm function cannot be
implemented, and the analog channel only needs to enable the motion detection on the
local end.

FAQ: Motion detection does not work

1. Check whether the firmware of the video recorder and camera are updated to
the version after 2015. Some old versions do not support the linkage setting of the
IPC area.
2. At present, motion detection only supports the setting of devices
connected by private protocol, check whether the camera is made by Seculink.

“Channel”Click the drop-down menu to select the channel number to set the motion
detection;
“Enable” Reverse display ■ indicates that the motion detection function is enabled, and
the corresponding settings can be made after being enabled;

“Sensitivity”The alarm sensitivity has the lowest, low, medium, high, higher, and the
highest six files are available. The higher the sensitivity, the easier it is to trigger the alarm,
and the false alarm rate will also increase;

Note: Sensitivity settings are only available in the motion detection function of analog
channel in hybrid mode / full analog mode.

“Region”Click Settings to enter the region setting page. The region is divided into PAL
22X18, the red region is the motion detection arming area, and the black region is the
non-defending area, as shown in the following figure. Hold down the left mouse button
and draw the setting area (the default all areas are selected as the monitoring region).

Note: Region settings are only available in the motion detection function of analog
channel in hybrid mode / full analog mode.

“Period”:The recorder will trigger the motion detection alarm signal within the set time
range. It can be set by week, or it can be set uniformly, and four time periods can be set
every day. Check the check box before the time period ■, the set time will take effect.

“Interval” During the set interval time, the motion detection alarm is triggered multiple
times to output only one alarm signal;

“Record Delay”After setting the motion detection alarm, the recorder will continue to
detect the time period of the recording, and the setting range is 10~300 seconds.

“Recording channel”: Set the channel number of the linked recording when the motion
detection alarm is triggered (can be checked); when the alarm occurs, the recorder will
record the selected channel;
Note: To use this function, you need to change the recording mode to configuration and
set the effective time period and start the detection recording in [Main Menu] > [Recording
Function] > [Recording Settings].

“Tour”: Set the channel number of the full-screen display when the motion detection alarm
is triggered (can be checked); when the alarm occurs, the recorder will cycle the
full-screen display of the selected channel;

Note: The interval between the full screen display of the selected channel during the tour
process is set in [Main Menu] > [System Settings] > [Tour Settings];

“PTZ Activation”: Set the recorder to call the preset point of the selected channel pan/tilt
when the alarm occurs, and cruise or patrol between points;

Note: In the analog channel mode and the analog channel in the hybrid channel mode, the
PTZ linkage is the camera PTZ corresponding to the analog channel. In the network
channel, the PTZ linkage is the PTZ of the front-end network camera corresponding to the
channel. Before connecting the PTZ, you need to set the PTZ preset point, inter-point
cruise, interval time and other parameters in [Quick Menu] > [PTZ Control]; the analog
channel needs to be connected to the RS485 control line.

“Show Message”: Set the recorder to pop up the alarm information dialog box in the local
preview screen such as VGA, HDMI, etc. when the alarm is triggered;

“Send Email”: When this function is enabled, the recorder sends an alarm email to the
specified mailbox when the motion detection alarm is triggered.

Note: Before using this function, you need to set the Outbox and Inbox in [Main Menu] >
[System Settings] > [Network Service] > [Email] and ask the recorder to connect to the
Outbox Server.

“FTP upload”: When this function is enabled, the recorder will upload an alarm video or
picture to the specified FTP server when the motion detection alarm is triggered.

Note: Before using this function, you need to set the FTP server to be used in [Main
Menu] > [System Settings] > [Network Service] > [FTP] and ask the recorder to connect to
the FTP server.

“Buzzer”: When the recorder is set to trigger an alarm, the buzzer on the local host of the
recorder issues a “beep” sound;
9.2. Video Blind
The video image transmitted by the front camera to the recorder is affected by the
outside environment. When the light intensity reaches the set sensitivity parameter, the
video blind alarm is triggered and the linkage function is activated.

Note: Like motion detection, the analog channel of hybrid mode /full analog channel and
network channel video blind functions are different. The network channel video blind alarm
function must not only enable this function in the recorder, but also the front-end network
connected to the corresponding channel. The camera should also turn on the video blind
function, otherwise the video blind alarm function cannot be realized, and the analog
channel can be turned on by the video recorder as long as the video blind alarm is
enabled.

The analog channel of the hybrid mode and the full analog mode can set the sensitivity,
and the network channel cannot set the trigger sensitivity; the level of sensitivity is: lowest,
lower, medium, high, higher, and highest.
 9.3. Video Loss
When the recorder cannot obtain the video signal transmitted by the front camera, the
video loss alarm is activated and the linkage function is activated.

Like motion detection, the video loss function of the hybrid mode/full analog channel and
the full digital channel is different: the digital channel video loss alarm function not only
needs to be turned on at the local end, but also the corresponding remote device end
connected to the channel. To enable the video loss function, when the video
corresponding to the remote device end has video loss, the local end can realize its alarm
function. Otherwise, the video loss alarm function cannot be realized, and the analog
channel only needs to turn on the video loss of the recorder.
