  If some channels on your Samsung DVR only display a black screen, even with video sources, first check if the camera connected to the system is properly displaying the image. Also, ensure the camera is correctly powered. If a channel has a weak video signal from a video distributor connected to multiple systems, input the camera's video source directly into the DVR to identify and potentially resolve the problem.

  If the image quality of your recorded data on the Samsung DVR is unsatisfactory, you can improve it by increasing the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / Resolution. Select a bigger size when specifying the recording size and specify a bigger level for the recording quality. Keep in mind that increasing these settings will increase the data size, potentially leading to overwriting existing data more quickly.
