Maintenance

• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Dosilkc official website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Hard Drive Health: Monitor the health of your hard drive through the NVR's system settings. Replace the HDD if any issues are detected to prevent data loss.
• Ventilation: Ensure the NVR is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings.

Troubleshooting

No Video Output on Monitor

• Check if the NVR is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.
• Verify the HDMI/VGA cable connection between the NVR and the monitor.
• Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source (HDMI/VGA).
• Try a different HDMI/VGA cable or monitor.

Cameras Not Displaying

• Check the Ethernet cable connection for each camera to its respective PoE port on the NVR.
• Ensure the cameras are powered on (indicator lights on cameras should be active).
• If using non-Dosilkc PoE cameras, ensure they are ONVIF compatible and their IP addresses are configured to be on the same subnet as the NVR's PoE ports. Use the provided tool software to adjust IP addresses if necessary.
• Reboot the NVR and the cameras.

Remote Access Not Working

• Verify the NVR is connected to your internet router and has a valid network connection.
• Ensure your mobile device or computer has an active internet connection.
• Double-check the NVR's ID or QR code entered in the mobile app/client software.
• Check your router's firewall settings; port forwarding may be required for direct IP access (though P2P/Cloud access via app usually bypasses this).

No Recording / HDD Issues

• Ensure a hard drive is installed and properly connected inside the NVR.
• Check the HDD status in the NVR's system settings. Format the HDD if it's new or unrecognized.
• Verify that recording schedules or motion detection settings are correctly configured.
