Why doesn't my Samsung SRD-850DC DVR recognize the additional HDD?
If you've installed an additional HDD on your Samsung DVR and it's not being recognized, consult the compatibility list to confirm if the HDD is supported by the DVR. Contact the retailer where you purchased the DVR to obtain the compatibility list.
Why is my Samsung SRD-850DC recording not working?
If your Samsung DVR is not recording, first, make sure you see an image on the screen. If you do, check your recording settings. To manually record, press the [REC] button on the front panel of the DVR or on the remote control. To schedule recording, specify a desired time in Menu – Record - Recording Schedule. There are different recording options: Continuous (recording proceeds in any conditions at the specified time), Event (recording performs only if the event is of alarm, motion detection and video loss), Continuous / Event (if there is no event found, continuous recording will perform. If an event occurs, event recording will perform).
How to fix a Samsung SRD-850DC that does not turn on?
If your Samsung DVR does not turn on and the indicator on the front panel remains off, check whether the power supply system is properly connected. Also, verify the system's input voltage from the power source. If the problem continues, it might be necessary to inspect the power supplier and replace it if needed.
What to do if the alarm button doesn't work on my Samsung SRD-850DC?
If the alarm on your Samsung DVR sounds and pressing the [ALARM] button on the front panel doesn't stop it, try the following steps using the [MENU] button: 1) To release the event monitoring mode: go to Monitoring Mode and set the duration of the event monitoring to Off. 2) To release the alarm sound: go to Event Record Mode - Alarm (Motion Detection/Video Loss) and deactivate the alarm sound. 3) To release the event: go to Event Record Mode - Alarm (Motion Detection/ Video Loss) and set the mode to Off.
What does 'NO HDD' mean on my Samsung SRD-850DC?
If your Samsung DVR displays the “NO HDD” icon and an error message, first check the HDD connection. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact a service center to have the HDD checked.
Why doesn't my Samsung SRD-850DC DVR recognize all external HDDs?
If you've found that your Samsung DVR doesn't recognize as many disks as installed when you have connected multiple external HDDs, keep in mind that it takes time for the DVR to recognize multiple external HDDs. It may also occur due to a mechanical error of the HDD installed, so try again with a different HDD.
Why is the time bar not showing in search mode on my Samsung SRD-850DC DVR?
The timeline on your Samsung DVR can switch between normal and extension mode. If the time bar is not displayed in Search mode, switch to normal mode or use the left or right button to navigate through the time bar.
Why doesn't my Samsung SRD-850DC DVR recognize the external SATA HDD?
If you've connected an external storage device (external SATA HDD) to your Samsung DVR and it's not recognized, consult the compatibility list of external storage devices to check if the connected device is supported by the DVR. Contact the retailer where you purchased the DVR for the compatibility list.
Why can't I select the Start button in calendar search on my Samsung SRD-850DC DVR?
If the cursor won't move to the Start button when you start a calendar search on your Samsung DVR, make sure that the channel and the date you want to play are marked with the V symbol. Both must be checked before you can start playing.
What to do if the REC button doesn't work on my Samsung SRD-850DC?
If you press the [REC] button on the front panel of your Samsung DVR and the REC indicator doesn't flash, and the player doesn't start recording, check if there is free space on the HDD. Also, verify that the record mode is set to ON in the record mode setting.
