Frequently Asked Questions - C8XVR CONCEPTRONIC

No image is displayed on the monitor after startup. What should I do?

First, ensure the device is connected via HDMI or VGA cable. If not, connect and reboot. Second, check if the cable is damaged and replace if needed. Third, verify the monitor's input mode matches the DVR output (e.g., HDMI). If the issue persists, contact support.

Why does the DVR emit a continuous beeping sound after power-on?

This usually indicates that no HDD is installed, the HDD is not initialized, or the HDD is incompatible/defective. To stop the beep, go to Menu > Configuration > Exceptions and uncheck 'Audible Warning' for HDD Error. Alternatively, install a compatible HDD and initialize it via Menu > HDD > General.

Live view video is stuck or lagging locally. How can I fix it?

Check that the frame rate settings are set to 'Full Frame' under Menu > Record > Parameters > Record for both Main Stream (Continuous) and Main Stream (Event). Ensure the resolution is not set too high for your system. If using multiple channels, reduce the number of displayed channels.

There is no audio during live view. How do I enable sound?

Verify the audio cable connection between the pickup and camera is secure. Then go to Menu > Record > Parameters > Record and set the Stream Type to 'Video & Audio'. Ensure the audio input is properly connected to the RCA input on the DVR.

Playback video is choppy or stuck. What can I improve?

Reduce the number of simultaneous playback channels (max 8 supported at 4CIF). Lower the recording resolution or bitrate in Menu > Record > Parameters. Also ensure the HDD is not full or failing. If using 720p playback on multiple channels, frame extraction may occur.

No recorded files are found when searching. Why?

Check the system time under Menu > Configuration > General to ensure it is correct. Verify the search criteria (channel and time range) are accurate. Also confirm the HDD is detected and initialized under Menu > HDD > General. If the HDD is faulty, replace it.

How do I reset the admin password if I forgot it?

You need the exported GUID file from initial setup. On the login screen, click 'Forget Password'. Import the GUID file from a USB flash drive. Then set a new password. If no GUID was exported, contact technical support for assistance.

How can I add IP cameras to the DVR?

Go to Menu > Camera > IP Camera. Click 'Search' to discover online cameras. Select the camera and click the + icon to add it. If the camera is inactive, activate it first using the admin password. For custom adding, click 'Custom Adding' and enter the IP address, protocol, and port.

How do I initialize a new hard drive?

Install the HDD physically, then go to Menu > HDD > General. Select the uninitialized HDD and click 'Init'. This will erase all data and prepare the drive for recording. You can also set the storage mode to Group or Quota under the Advanced tab.

What network protocols does the DVR support for remote access?

It supports TCP/IP, PPPoE, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, NTP, SADP, SMTP, NFS, iSCSI, UPnP™, and HTTPS. Remote access is also available via Guarding Vision mobile app. Configure network settings under Menu > Configuration > Network.

Figure 5-2 HDD- Advanced

Steps

Step 1 Enter the Record Parameters interface to congregate the encoding parameters.

Menu>Record>Parameters

Figure 5-3 Record Parameters

Step 2 Set the parameters for recording.

1) Select the Record tab to congregate.
2) Select a camera from the camera drop-down list.
3) View the Camera Resoluon.

i NOTE

When HDTVI, AHD, or HDCVI input is connected, you can view the informaon including the input signal type, resoluon and frame rate (e.g., 720P25). When CVBS input is connected, you can view the informaon such as NTSC or PAL.

If there is sll no image display on the monitor aer reboong, please check if the conncon cable is good, and change a cable to connect again.

Step 3 Verify Input mode of the monitor is correct.

Please check the input mode of the monitor matches with the output mode of the device (e.g. if the output mode of DVR is HDMI output, then the input mode of monitor must be the HDMI input). And if not, please modify the input mode of monitor.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

● There is a beep sound aer a new bought device starts up.

Possible Reasons:

— No HDD is installed in the device.
— The installed HDD has not been inialized.
— The installed HDD is not compatible with the device or is broken-down.

Step 1 Verify at least one HDD is installed in the device.

1) If not, please install the compatible HDD.

Please refer to the "Quick Installaon Guide" for the HDD installaon steps.

2) If you do not want to install a HDD, select "Menu>Conguraon > Excepons", and uncheck the Audible Warning checkbox of "HDD Error".

Step 2 Verify the HDD is inialized.

1) Select "Menu>HDD>General".
2) If the status of the HDD is "Uninialized", please check the checkbox of corresponding HDD and click the "Init" buon.

Step 3 Verify the HDD is detected or is in good condition.

1) Select "Menu>HDD>General".
2) If the HDD is not detected or the status is "Abnormal", please replace the dedicated HDD according to the requirement.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.

1) If it is solved, nish the process.
2) If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

● Live view stuck when video outputs locally.

Possible Reasons:

— The frame rate has not reached the real-me frame rate.

Step 1 Check the parameters of Main Stream (Connnuous) and Main Stream (Event).

Select "Menu > Record > Parameters > Record", and set the resoluon of Main Stream (Event) the same as the one of Main Stream (Connuous).

Step 2 Verify the frame rate is real-me frame rate.

Select "Menu > Record > Parameters > Record", and set the Frame Rate to Full Frame.

Step 3 Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

- When using the device to get the live view audio, there is no sound or there is too much noise, or the volume is too low.

Possible Reasons:

— Cable between the pickup and camera is not connected well; impedance mismatches or incompatible.
— The stream type is not set as "Video & Audio".

Step 1 Verify the cable between the pickup and camera is connected well; impedance matches and compatible.

Step 2 Verify the seng parameters are correct.

Select "Menu > Record > Parameters > Record", and set the Stream Type as "Audio & Video".

Step 3 Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

● The image gets stuck when DVR is playing back by single or mul-channel cameras.

Possible Reasons:

— The frame rate is not the real-me frame rate.

— The DVR supports up to 8-channel synchronize playback at the resoluon of 4CIF, if you want a 8-channel synchronize playback at the resoluon of 720p, the frame extracng may occur, which leads to a slight stuck.

Step 1 Verify the frame rate is real-me frame rate.

Select "Menu > Record > Parameters > Record", and set the Frame Rate to "Full Frame".

Step 2 Verify the hardware can aord the playback.

Reduce the channel number of playback.

Select "Menu > Record > Encoding > Record", and set the resoluon and bitrate to a lower level.

Step 3 Reduce the number of local playback channel.

Select "Menu > Playback", and uncheck the checkbox of unnecessary channels.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.

If it is solved, nish the process.
