Not on site right now, but what am I looking for? From my time with the DVR, there was no change booting with or w/o drive connected.

Tx for the response. Did open unit and disco'd all drives and tested psu. There are some LEDs on mainboard that light up then go out on boot. Also found what I took to be a reset switch. I have no docs or schematics for the dvr, and am at a lost.

Happy Memorial Day all. I came across one of these units that continuously makes a clicking noise then shuts down after trying to boot (grid w/o video displays for a second or so, then unit shuts down). Clicks coming from the i/o panel at rear of device, not psu or drives. Any ideas as to what caused failure? Can the i/o panel (which appears to be slotted into mainboard) be replaced at reasonable costs? TIA

Will see if I can.

Thanks for the response. Not an old post, just old system I encountered. An extender would be cost prohibitive; new cable run will be done.

Came across an old monitor and a box of cameras. Monitor and cameras have RJ modular jacks on 'em. The connectors on the cabling looks larger than RJ11, but smaller and RJ45. I'm assuming these are referred to as UTP systems? Can the pre-existing wiring be reused for IP cams or data connectivity?

I'll get pic next time @ location. Tried blank pw; no joy. Don't know if guy will allow me to pop any open, but I'll ask. Can't believe there are no designated model #s on 'em.

Anyone know where I can find info on these units? Model # as stated directly on the unit is "4 channel standalone DVR" Owner has a few of these units from a PD auction, but they are passwd protected and we can't get into setup. TIA.

A second reset of the mainboard cured all ills. DVR now operational

Greetings all. Having a problem servicing an Nuvico EV-16000N. In '12 I was called to service this unit which had a corrupted drive. It was an easy fix. This week got called back to site supposedly for same issue. I tested drive on PC (never powered up the DVR) and heard nasty click and grinding. Drive was never recognized; advised user to replace. Upon installation of new drive, found that PSU was bad. It would not boot with optical and/or HD connected and chassis fan intermittent. With no drives connected, it would turn on, fan works, but no video output (VGA monitor detects, then loses signal). While it was powered, unit unresponsive to front panel buttons and remote control. Installed standard Flex ATX PSU today and unit boots, displays "loading programs" then shows camera grid on screen (no cameras connected at this point). However, still unresponsive to remote and front panel buttons. Also, hard drive light never stays on, even when "loading programs". Original drive was SATA verson1 or 2; new drive is v3. I tried system with an older v1 drive; same issue. Tried both FAT and NTFS file systems (NTFS worked in the past). Still no joy. Can't find any support docs on Nuvico's site; and no end user support. Anyone have any ideas? The original PSU appears to have voltage regulator issue. Maybe the mainboard (PowerPC based) is mucked due to this?

Hope all have enjoyed this holiday weekend. Anyone familiar with this company and it's offerings? Newegg Shell Shocker today had one of their cameras up which prompted me to look up this company. But haven't found anything from users, just sale offerings.

remote viewing on what ??? you dont neet any quicktime plug-in. which software are you using and which apps Solved the remote viewing issue by clearing out browser history, then appropriate component loaded on page refresh.

Well, installed unit today; can't recommend product. Power supply doesn't fit flush to unit and easily slips, . For remote viewing, quicktime plug-in loads but no video display, just the QT logo. Currently trying to find solution.

Unit arrived today; tested without any video input and so far so good. Clean interface and intuitive setup.

Well awaiting delivery and still haven't acquired cameras yet.
