Maybe your UPS is broken (not giving a constant power output??)? Try to replace the UPS or use the NVR without the UPS for two weeks to test if the current UPS is causing the downtime.

Do you have a branded (Cotier) or unbranded mini NVR? In case of unbranded: Did you try the recovery file method located at the following site: http://www.urcctvstore.com/Download.html ? Recovery File (for N6200-4E/8E,N6200-4EL/8EL,6100-4EP/8EP,N6100-4EP,8EP) DownloadHow to Use Rebooting tools Put the 4 recovery files + the firmware update 20150124 on a USB flashdrive and flash it again?

Mike can you tell us what brand cameras work with the i8,i8s, and i9 profiles that are default in the firmware. I want to add more cameras and would like to purchase ones that will work flawlessly with my mini. I added the i12 to my mini to make my Escam's work, but i12 is not satisfactory. Buy the cameras from Aliexpress at his store?? It states:

No, you have to manually upgrade the mini NVR with the i12 (or i13) update file (look for the last dropbox link). Don't know the possible effects of using it, but it works for the escam cameras.

Never turn it off? Well, it's only three~five seconds work when you use a mouse to switch to 4 channels, well depending that you don't have a password set on your user account.

Hmm, after trying again and looking at the settings it seems that the Stream type changed to 1280*960 after turning it back to 1280*720 the multiview in the playback menu works again.

That 'sensor' page is used for external sensors, so if you have a PIR sensor or a doormagnet sensor or any other sensor connected to the DVR. In that case the DVR will be in alarm modus when the sensor has been triggered. Strange that the motion triggered recording is still not working....

Well, I don't think those cameras are waterproof, so mounting it outside would not be very nice for the cameras. But if you really cannot increase your budget, I think you are better off with Zmodo (shipped from Germany) and a bit of support on the internet... You can buy Zmodo™ 8CH 960H DVR Kit 4 600TVL Outdoor Dome Home Security Camera CCTV System for 100 pound on ebay. Well depending on the purpose (observe (analog?) (detail not important) or identify(IP camera)), its a better choice to invest in an IP system.

Hmmm that is a very simple interface.... well found this: http://www.yourepeat.com/watch/?v=cib44E1sozk <<< something about the interface, seems to be some settings on the right and at the bottom of the screen about the admin password. Manufacturer seems to be 'Verified Supplier - Mvteam Industrial Limited', try to send them a mail at Alibaba? google search

Hmm, in that case the costco is better than the samsung, well he can always return it if it's not suitable.

Hmm never tried that to one of the systems I installed, do you have an analog camera? But can you make the picture of the web interface?

Analog is not HD, well there is an exception, but he is better off investing in an IP system. Increase his budget to 900 dollar and he has a much better system at Costco. The image quality of the 300 dollar costco is comparable to the Samsung I think, reliability is an other story.

Uhh, could you please post a screenshot, since the web interface is most of the time used as an external viewer/recorder/playback thing, but in most cases there should also be a settings menu, user control and such. With the help of google translate you can try to figure out the Italian. Please make pictures with your mobile, and post them here.

Install an active waterproof infrared sensor, put it 80CM height hidden if possible. I think it's better to install a real alarm system (with door sensors at each door or window) instead of focusing on the motion detection of the camera. Well a camera system can have a deterrent effect. Well the downside of having an alarm system is that it's too late when the alarm has been triggered, well in case that you don't have some sensors outside, since the burglar managed to get inside your home. By having a active infrared sensor between some walls (to access the door) or at the entrance of the garden or halfway you can be alerted earlier so the damage is minimized, however the risk of a false positive is a bit higher (bird, cat, animals, childrens).

Well, we are having a start: Please turn you antivirus off for the moment, just for installing the ActiveX component Log in to your modem/router Look for the internal IP address of the modem in the client list Open internet explorer Internet options > security Security > Trusted sites > Add the internal IP address of the DVR Set the security of trusted sites at low >> so at the bottom Set the compatibility mode one for the internal IP address Install the ActiveX component or other software that is required by the DVR Login ???
