If your recorder stops in the middle of a recording, check the following:
 
  • Are the hard drives 5 or more years old?
  • Have the hard drives been dropped?
    • Replace the hard drive
  • The hard drive may need to be re-initialized
    • This is also known as "Low Level Format", "Write Zeroes", or "Deep Format"
    • It helps if it has a lot of bad sectors that build up over time
       
  • The drive bay slot on the recorder is worn and needs replacement
    • This can be serviced by Datavideo, contact [email protected] if you do not already have a ticket
       
  • Is the input signal is unstable?
    • This can cause the recording to pause or fail
      • Is the video and power cabling properly terminated?
      • Is the video and power cabling separated to reduce interference?
         
  • Are you using the correct power supply?
    • It should read: DC Ouput: 12V 1.5A (18W Max)
      • It is ok if it is more than 1.5A
      • You can calculate watts multiplying volts and amps
        • P = I * V (Power equals Current times Volts)
      • Under-powering the recorder may damage it or cause recordings to fail
