Floureon CCTV DVR FIX - Bing video
Check Camera Compatibility:
Ensure that the cameras you're trying to connect are compatible with your DVR. It seems you have both 900TVL and 1500TVL Floureon cameras. However, your new DVR might be analog-only, which means it won't work with HD cameras (like AHD, HDTVI, or HDCVI). The old 1500TVL cameras might fall into this category.
Try connecting only two of your old cameras to the DVR and observe if they work. If they do, it confirms the compatibility issue.
Check DVR Settings:
Access the DVR settings menu and verify the following:
Encoding Format: Ensure that the DVR is set to the correct encoding format (e.g., 960H or AHD-L).
Network Settings: If you're not connected to the internet, disable any network-related settings (such as DHCP or UPnP).
Camera Channels: Confirm that the channels corresponding to your cameras are correctly configured.
Hard Drive Installation: Make sure you have a functional hard drive installed in the DVR for recording purposes.
Power Supply and Connections:
Double-check the power supply for both the DVR and the cameras. Faulty power connections can lead to recording issues.
Inspect the camera cables and connections. Loose or damaged cables may cause recording failures.
Playback Mode:
When in playback mode, try deselecting one camera and selecting another. Sometimes, all cameras are recording, but you can only view two at a time. By switching between cameras, you can access the recorded footage.
Factory Reset (if necessary):
As a last resort, consider performing a factory reset on the DVR. Be aware that this will erase all settings, so proceed with caution.
