      If there is no picture on selected channels, the camera cables might be loose or disconnected. Check the camera video cable and connections. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable at both the system and camera ends. Also, try reconnecting the camera to another channel or use another cable.

      If your Home Guard Security System is not receiving power, it could be due to several reasons. First, confirm that all cables are connected correctly. If the cables are connected but the system is not receiving sufficient power, confirm that the system is powered on (LED indicators on the front panel should be on). If the DVR is connected through a power bar or surge protector, try bypassing it and connecting power directly from the mains socket to the DVR. Lastly, confirm that there is power at the outlet.

      If the mouse is not detected by your Home Guard Security System, ensure the mouse cable is firmly connected to the USB port on the rear panel of the DVR. If that doesn't work, power off the system (disconnect the power cable), firmly connect a USB mouse to the USB port on the rear panel of the DVR, and then reconnect the power cable to the DC 12V port.
