What to do if the alarm button doesn't work on my Samsung DVR?
If the alarm sound doesn't stop when you press the [ALARM] button on the front panel of your Samsung DVR, try pressing the [MENU] button. You can release the alarm by: 1) Setting the event monitoring duration to Off in Monitoring Mode. 2) Deactivating the alarm sound in Event Record Mode for Alarm (Motion Detection/Video Loss). 3) Setting the mode to Off in Event Record Mode for Alarm (Motion Detection/ Video Loss).
How to improve recording quality on Samsung DVR?
If the image quality of your Samsung DVR recording is not good, increase 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 higher resolution and quality increase the data size, filling the HDD faster and leading to overwriting existing data at shorter intervals.
Why is recording not working on my Samsung SRD-852D?
If recording isn't working on your Samsung DVR, first ensure you see an image on the screen. Recording may fail if settings aren't configured correctly. To start recording manually, press the [REC] button on the front panel or remote. For scheduled recording, specify a time in Menu – Record - Recording Schedule. Recording will start at the specified time. Options include Continuous (always records), Event (records only during alarms, motion, or video loss), and Continuous/Event (records continuously, switches to event recording when an event occurs).
Why are some channels black on my Samsung SRD-852D?
If some channels display only a black screen on your Samsung DVR, first check if the camera connected to the system properly displays the image. Also, verify that the camera is properly supplied with power. You can input the video source of the camera directly into the DVR to help identify and resolve the problem.
Why won't backup data play from my Samsung SRD-852D DVR?
If backup data from your Samsung DVR isn't playing on your PC or DVR, ensure you've selected the correct player (PC or DVR) during backup. If using a PC, the backup file format should be AVI or SEC. If using the DVR, formatting should be done by the DVR.
How to fix a Samsung DVR that won't turn on?
If the system of your Samsung DVR does not turn on and the indicator on the front panel does not work, check if the power supply system is properly connected. Check the system for the input voltage from the power source. If the problem persists, check the power supplier and replace it if necessary.
Why does my Samsung SRD-852D DVR keep showing the logo?
If the screen of your Samsung DVR repeatedly displays the logo image, this may be due to a problem with the main board or corrupt software. Contact the nearest service center for more information.
Why isn't my new HDD recognized by my Samsung SRD-852D?
If you have installed an additional HDD on your Samsung DVR, but it is not recognized, check the compatibility list to ensure the HDD is supported by the DVR.
Why doesn't my external HDD work with my Samsung SRD-852D?
If you've connected an external storage device (external SATA HDD) to your Samsung DVR, but it's not recognized, check the compatibility list of external storage devices to ensure the connected device is supported by the DVR.
