    Why do some channels show a black screen on my Samsung SDS-P5101, even with a video source?
    • J
      jessicafosterAug 23, 2025
      If some channels display only a black screen, even when they should be receiving video, check if the camera connected to the system properly displays the image and check if the camera is properly supplied with power. The issue might also occur on a channel with a weak video signal. In this case, input the video source of the camera directly into the DVR to potentially identify and resolve the problem.

      If the system does not turn on and the indicator on the front panel does not work, check if the power supply system is properly connected and check the system for the input voltage from the power source. If the problem continues, check the power supplier and replace it if needed.

    Why is my Samsung DVR not recording?
    • A
      Angela BraunAug 28, 2025
      If recording does not work, first check if you see an image on the screen. If the player does not display a Live image at all, it may be the reason. If the recording settings are not properly configured, you can start manual recording by pressing the [REC] button on the remote control. You can also set up a scheduled record by specifying a desired time in Menu – Record - Recording Schedule. Recording will then start at the specified time.

      If the image quality of your recording data is not good, increase the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / Resolution. Also, specify a bigger size when specifying the recording size and specify a bigger level for the recording quality.

      If the [REC] button on the remote control doesn't start recording, check if there is free space on the HDD for recording. Also, check if the record mode is set to ON in the record mode setting.

      Kristina PriceSep 4, 2025
      If the Channel button does not work on the Live screen, it may be because the current screen is in the event monitoring mode. In the event monitoring screen, press the [ALARM] button to exit the screen and then select a channel.
