Q:  What if the DVR does not detect the hard drive?

A

:  Hard Drive loss occurs when the hard drive is taken offline, either by drive 

failure or disconnection from the DVR.

A red square with a white H will be displayed on the main video screen if hard 
drive loss occurs.  The H icon will also appear if there is no hard drive installed or 
if it has not been formatted.

Refer to Section 3.1 for instructions on how to ensure the hard drive is properly 
installed.

If the hard drive continues to appear to be malfunctioning, please contact Zmodo 
technical support.

Q:  The DVR is requesting a password.  What if I don't remember the 
password?

A

:  In most cases, technical support can assist in unlocking a DVR.  The owner 

must contact us and provide proof of purchase corresponding to the DVR.

Q:  Why does the main video screen display the message:  “VIDEO LOSS”?

A

:  Refer to Section 3.2 for instructions  on connecting the cameras properly.  

Ensure the cameras are receiving power.  Switch cables if some cameras display 
video while others do not.  Go to Main Menu > System > Video.  Video System 
should be set to NTSC not PAL.

Q:  Can the DVR get too hot?

A

:  It is not unusual for the DVR to become warm during continuous operation.  

The DVR is not equipped with cooling fans.  Store the DVR in a cool, well-
ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

If the DVR becomes excessively hot, turn it off, unplug it, and contact technical 
support.

Q:  Why do the front panel controls work but not the remote?

A

:  Ensure nothing is obstructing the black sensor on the remote or the DVR.  

Also, place fresh batteries in the remote control.

Q:  Can I use my own hard drive in the DVR?

A

:  If the hard drive is SATA and no larger than 1TB, then you can install your own 

hard drive in the DVR.  Please note that our hard drives are especially designed 
for the rough wear of DVR recording, so standard hard drives may have a shorter 
life.  In addition, a DVR-formatted hard drive cannot be read in a PC without
