video loss and hdd light blinking red

Post by mobility61 »

My four cameras on my 960H all say video loss and the hdd light is blinking red. I already tried a hard reboot and it did not work. Please advise.

Hello,
For the HDD blinking, you should go to the settings and Under Record > HDD Manage there is an option that says 'Init'. This formats the hard drive. That should fix the issue. It looks like the cameras are not getting power. Make sure the cameras are powered on properly using the power adapter/splitter and that the cables are plugged in to the back of the camera (both power and BNC) properly.

Hi,

If you have confirmed that the cameras are getting power and they are connected to the DVR correctly you can try a reset on the DVR. For this go to the Main Menu > System > Maintenance > Default Settings - Restore. Make sure all the options under the Restore are enabled. Please note that resetting will load the factory default settings of the DVR and any settings that you have done previously will be wiped out.
