What to do if I see nothing but a blue screen after I turn on the Q-See QSD6204?
If you see nothing but a blue screen after turning on your Q-See DVR, check the camera input and video output connections on the DVR rear panel. If these connections are fine, verify that the camera power cable is firmly connected.
How to fix Q-See QSD6204 if I push the Record button but nothing records?
