    Hello. The DVR would need its own TV or monitor.

    1 of 4 CCTV Cameras Won't Work

    Hello. Have you tried connecting each camera by itself to the separate 12 V supply? If they each seem to work OK or equally badly, you may want to consider a new separate 12 V supply.
  3. Hello. Is the phone connecting to the same wifi as the laptop?

    Image surge issue - tripping motion detection

    Hello. The DVR should allow you to set an email schedule or lessen the sensitivity or focus the motion detection mask.
  5. Hello. I suppose if you shut off the cameras prior to shutting off the DVR that would cause the DVR to stop recording to the hard drive.
  6. Hello. Have you tried a new 12v adapter for the DVR?

    DDNS working on computer but not on Android

    Hello. Asee and IP Cam Viewer Lite are a couple of android apps that work pretty universally with alot of different devices.
  8. Hello. Have you tried a different TV or monitor?
  9. Hello. Try setting your DVR network type to DHCP and make sure it is physically cabled to the new router. Then you might try that new static IP address assigned to your new router.

    Loss of picture quality on all cams

    Hello. Sounds like the cameras are stuck in night vision mode.

    Email settings not working - Swann DVR

    Hello. Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use TLS. ​​ Change your settings to allow less secure apps to access your account. Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account. https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps Next to "Access for less secure apps," select Turn on. An alternate port to try is 587 and neither needs to be forwarded. Google considers this to be less secure, of course. Hope that helps.

    Grainy picture over time

    Hello. It could be either the mounting of the camera or inadequate power to the camera.

    Swann PROH-855 Camera, Samsung SRD1694 DRV, No video

    Hello. Make sure the cameras are each set to either AHD or analog and if they are set to AHD then do not pair them up with any old analog cameras in connecting them to the DVR. AHD and analog cameras generally do not play nice when mixed together.

    Samsung NVR-1673S web viewer plugin - Help!

    Hello. If your DVR has received a firmware update, try deleting the current DVR plugin from Safari and then retry the browser connection.

    Trouble with No-IP and NVR

    Hello. Is the DVR connected to your local network?
  16. GadgetAssistant

    Swann NHD-819 Stand alone access

    Hello. That camera model appears to be a high definition camera. So it would need to be connected to a high definition NVR or possibly a high definition DVR with a balun for the BNC connection. You can always check with Swann tech support.

    No IR Working

    The power requirements for DVR cameras will vary by the manufacturer. And, yes, the cameras and the DVR will have operating temperature range. 2 degrees celsius is above freezing and a good working outdoor camera should be able to handle that.

    Sannce DVR firmware recovery

    Hello. Try a different TV or monitor.
  19. GadgetAssistant

    No IR Working

    Hello. Not enough power. The cameras will draw more electricity at night to light up the LED's to send video to the DVR. Try a different or newer camera power adapter. The power adapter you are using now may not be up to the task of adapting the amperage needed for night vision.

    Identify dvr

    Hello. I would look on the back or bottom of the DVR to see if there is a some sort of indication of of a model, serial number, MAC, or hopefully even the manufacturer.
  21. GadgetAssistant

    Remote Connection IP Cam

    One other thing. If your cam or its manual indicate some web port, you can check and see if the cam hosts it own web page using its LAN IP from a PC on the same router. Consider the following URL as an example: http://192.168.1.23:85

    Sannce 8CH-4 J Camera 1TB HDD System

    Hi. Does the DVR network sub menu indicate some local IP address?
  23. GadgetAssistant

    Remote Connection IP Cam

    Hello. Port forwarding through two routers isn't completely impossible.
  24. GadgetAssistant

    Sannce 8CH-4 J Camera 1TB HDD System

    Hello. Set the DVR network type to DHCP with UPNP enabled and then try using the public IP address assigned to the new router. Its always worth a try.

    P2P connection IP camera

    not really P2P for DVR/cameras does use central server Then, I guess we can call it a hybrid P2P. In that case, what would happen to the DVR/camera access if the manufacturer stops hosting the central servers or simply goes out of business?
