7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SMONET security system, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- No Video Output on Monitor:
- Ensure the NVR is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.

- Check your router's firewall settings; they might be blocking the connection.
- Hard Drive Not Recording/Faulty:
- Access the NVR's settings to check the hard drive status.
- Attempt to reformat the hard drive through the NVR's menu (this will erase all existing recordings).
