4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your security system.
- Camera Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SANSCO security system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Video Signal:
- Check all power connections to the DVR and cameras.
- Verify that video cables (BNC) are securely connected at both the camera and DVR ends. Loose or damaged BNC cables are a common cause of signal loss.
- Ensure the monitor/TV input source is correctly selected.
- Test cameras individually if possible to isolate a faulty camera or cable.
- Remote Access Not Working:
- Confirm the DVR is connected to your router via an Ethernet cable and has a stable internet connection.
- Check your router's internet connectivity.
- Ensure the mobile app is updated to the latest version.
- Verify device ID and login credentials in the app.
- Check firewall settings on your router; some ports may need to be forwarded (refer to your router's manual or ISP for assistance).
- Motion Detection Not Triggering:
- Review motion detection settings in the DVR menu, ensuring zones are correctly defined and sensitivity is appropriate.
- Check that recording schedules are active.
- Ensure push notifications are enabled in both the DVR settings and your mobile app.
- Poor Image Quality:
- Clean camera lenses as described in the Maintenance section.
- Ensure cameras are positioned correctly and not facing direct light sources that could cause glare.
- Check cable quality and length; long or low-quality cables can degrade signal.
