If your Samsung DVR does not recognize all the installed disks, it may simply need more time to recognize multiple external HDDs, so try again in a moment. If the problem persists, it may occur due to a mechanical error of the HDD installed, so try again with a different HDD.

Why does my Samsung SRD-850D display a black screen on some channels?

Cassidy IngramAug 26, 2025
If some channels on your Samsung DVR display a black screen even if they receive video sources, first check if the camera connected to the system properly displays the image and if the camera is properly supplied with power. Sometimes, this problem may occur on a channel with weak video signal from a video distributor that is connected to multiple systems. In this case, input the video source of the camera directly into the DVR.

Carmen YoungSep 9, 2025
If the image quality of the recording data on your Samsung DVR isn't satisfactory, try increasing the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / Resolution. Select a bigger size when specifying the recording size (4CIF>2CIF>CIF). Specify a bigger level for the recording quality. Keep in mind that increasing resolution and recording quality will increase the data size, filling the HDD faster and overwriting existing data sooner.
