    How to fix Provision 906M not recording at all?

      Robert PetersAug 23, 2025
      If your Provision DVR isn't recording, it might be due to a couple of reasons. First, the SD card or SSD might not be loading correctly, refer to the section about SD card/SSD loading issues. Second, the cameras might not be set to record; check the recording settings in the web interface and ensure each camera is set to 'Auto'. Lastly, the SD/SSD might be full; free up space by enabling Overwrite or deleting alarm videos.

    Why does my Provision 906M DVR have lights on but will not boot and begin recording?
    • J
      Joel SmithAug 25, 2025
      If your Provision DVR has power but isn't booting up and recording, there could be a few reasons. First, the DVR might not be receiving an ignition signal; check the green ignition wire on the DVR power cable to ensure it's connected when the vehicle key is ON. Second, the ignition signal might be set improperly; DVRs are shipped with a high-level ignition setting, so if you're using a ground ignition, you'll need to change the ignition level in the interface. Finally, there might be an excessive current draw or power short on a camera, cable, or accessory; disconnect each item one at a time to see if it resolves the issue.

    What to do if Provision DVR restarts or reboots on its own?
    • E
      Erin BellAug 27, 2025
      If your Provision DVR is restarting or rebooting unexpectedly, a potential cause is that the SD card or SSD is not able to be loaded by DVR. See the "DVR is not loading SD card/SSD" section for guidance. Alternatively, there might be a problem with a camera, cable, or accessory. Disconnect each component one at a time to isolate the cause, and review the log text file(s) on the SD card to determine what is causing the issue. If the issue persists, there could be a software problem with the DVR unit; in this case, contact technical support and have the log text file(s) from the SD card available.

    How to fix Provision DVR filling up with video and no longer recording?
    • J
      jonesjamesAug 28, 2025
      If your Provision DVR is filling up with video and stops recording (possibly beeping), it could be due to the overwrite feature not being enabled. Go to the web interface under Storage and ensure the “Overwrite” box is checked. If the video is all in the 'Alarm' folder, something might be triggering the recording too often. Ensure that triggers are set to record only occasional events. Check the Triggers, G-Force, and GPS pages to uncheck the camera recording boxes for triggers where recording isn't necessary.

    Why is my Provision 906M recording some cameras but not all?
    • M
      Mark GardnerAug 29, 2025
      If your Provision DVR is recording some cameras but not others, the cameras that aren't recording might not be set to record in the menu. Go to the Recording settings page of the web interface and ensure that the recording is set to Auto for each camera. Also, a camera might not be working properly or could be damaged; test this by swapping the camera to another input on the DVR unit. A damaged or broken cable could also be the cause; test the cable by bypassing it with another cable or connecting the camera directly to the DVR, and replace the cable if damaged. Finally, if multiple cables are used, ensure that at least one cable is a 30 ft. Repeater cable (with an inline booster) and that the repeater is connected to the DVR, as multiple 20 ft. cables cannot be connected together.

    How to turn off beeping noise occasionally heard on the Provision DVR?
    • I
      ijohnsonSep 22, 2025
      If you hear a beeping noise occasionally on your Provision DVR, the “Buzzer” is likely enabled for a connected trigger, G-Force, or GPS. If desired, set the buzzer setting to “Off” to disable the beeping.

    What does it mean if the status light on the Provision DVR or event button is flashing red?
    • G
      Gina LivingstonSep 8, 2025
      If the status light on the Provision DVR or the event button is flashing red, it could indicate a few issues. The DVR might not be recording because it doesn't have a disk loaded; refer to the section on loading SD cards or SSDs. Alternatively, the DVR might not be recording because the SD/SSD is full of video; free up space by enabling Overwrite in the DVR’s web interface or deleting the Alarm video on the disk. Lastly, it could be due to a software issue internally, in which case you should contact Tech Support.

    Why does my Provision 906M DVR remain on after the key is turned off?
    • S
      Stephen ChavezSep 5, 2025
      If your Provision DVR remains on after the key is turned off, the ignition power off delay is likely set on the DVR. Adjust the power off delay in the DVR menu to 0 seconds to make it turn off with the ignition.
