muneeb138 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Hi I sold Argus JSD-800 8 ch DVR to a customer and a problem arises after one month. all 8 ch. are working fine on Live View but in playback mode four cameras from ch 1-4 are not giving display, the other ch-5-8 are working fine and showing the record. this problem occurs for about 8-10 hours each day. that is the all 8 channel show recording for some times and then suddenly first 4 cameras go off. i replaced his DVR and gave him a Brand new one (tested one) but this problem also occurred on that DVR too? please tell me the solution why this is happening is their a software fault or hardware prob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muneeb138 0 Posted May 31, 2008 okkay i'll try updating the firmware but there is one more question i would like to ask Is there any backup method for firmware i can make of this dvr and then update its firmware, just thinking if update fails and dvr firmware gets disturbed by trying this attempt. also i tried changing shedule recording mode to Motion detector + Continous record, and this solves my problem, previously it was set to factory defaults 'continous record' only and this is causing that problem. i wonder why i cant get proper recording by enabling just Continous recording.? also could you tell me what does the mode 'Motion + Countinous record ' actually does , i mean if it is already recording continously then what will be the advantage of Motion detector?

kwc 0 Posted August 12, 2008 I have had this on a dvr before and it turn out to be the hard drive. Try reformatting the drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
