6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SANNCE NVR system:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the NVR unit and cameras with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings on the NVR are free from dust and obstructions to prevent overheating.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter:
- No Video Output on Monitor:
- Check if the NVR is powered on.
- Verify the HDMI/VGA cable connection between the NVR and the monitor.
- Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source (HDMI/VGA).
- No Camera Image:
- Ensure the camera is properly connected to a PoE port on the NVR.
- Check the Ethernet cable for damage.
- Verify the camera's IP address and network settings within the NVR interface.
- Restart the NVR and the problematic camera.
- Cannot Access NVR Remotely:
- Ensure the NVR is connected to your router and has internet access.
- Check network settings on the NVR (DHCP enabled or static IP configured correctly).
- Verify that the mobile app is connected to the correct NVR ID/QR code.
- Check your router's firewall settings; port forwarding might be required for direct access (though P2P/Cloud access usually bypasses this).
- Recording Not Working:
- Check if the hard drive is installed, initialized, and healthy in the NVR's settings.
- Verify recording schedules and motion detection settings for the channels.
- Ensure there is sufficient storage space on the hard drive.
