Hi All,
I have a Dahua 4 Camera HCVR security system that was installed around 2016. The original 1TB Seagate HD died, so I took it out and replaced it with a 1TB WD Blue drive which I formatted in my PC via an external enclosure, prior to putting it in the HCVR box.
My issue is once I plug back everything to the HCVR box, and turn on the power, there is no signal from the box to the monitor. I've tried changing from the VGA input to HDMI input to different monitors but that has not worked. The power light on the mobo turns on and the fan spins, so I know there is power going to the unit.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix the unit or is it basically toast? If it's toast, would I be able to re-use the cameras with another DVR security system or would those need to be replaced as well?
Thanks!
