      If your Q-See DVR doesn't start after connecting the power, the power adapter might be damaged or not providing enough power. Please change the adapter. Another possible cause is that the DVR may not be getting enough power from the outlet or surge protector it is attached to. Also, there could be a problem with the system board on the DVR.

    Why are no images displayed on some or all channels of my Q-See QT528 DVR?
    • S
      Susan HoustonAug 22, 2025
      If you are not seeing images on some or all channels of your Q-See DVR, the issue could stem from a few potential causes. First, there might be a connection problem; ensure that the cables and ports of both the camera and DVR are securely connected. Second, the camera itself could be faulty; test the cameras by connecting them directly to a TV or a known working port on the DVR. Finally, the video format of the DVR (NTSC/PAL) might be incompatible with that of the cameras; try changing the DVR's video format to match the cameras.

      James EvansAug 26, 2025
      If your Q-See DVR starts up and continuously displays 'please wait,' there are a couple of things you can try. First, check the hard drive's power and data cable connections to ensure they are secure. If they seem fine, try unplugging and then plugging them back in. If the issue persists, the system might be having trouble reading the hard drive. In this case, attempt to reformat the current drive or replace it altogether.

      If the indicator lights on your Q-See DVR are on but there's no output, the power adapter may be damaged or not providing enough power, so please change the adapter.

      The front USB port on the Q-See DVR is only for backup to a USB flash drive and does not support a USB mouse. Please use the USB port on the rear panel if you are using a mouse.

      If you cannot use the mouse with your Q-See DVR, wait 5 minutes after connecting the mouse and then try again. If that doesn't work, the mouse might not be securely connected; try unplugging and plugging it in several times. As a last resort, the mouse might be incompatible with the system; please try another mouse.
