Why does the recording screen slow down on my Samsung SRN-473S DVR?

Mark MartinSep 23, 2025
If the recording screen slows down on your Samsung DVR, check if the recording specifications for each HDD condition (refer to the recording setting in the menu) are appropriate for the actual recording setting. If the data processing rate exceeds the play performance (refer to the product specifications in the menu), only the main video frames will play.

If your Samsung DVR displays a black screen on some channels despite receiving video sources, start by checking if the camera is properly supplied with power. Then, verify the video output by connecting to the camera's web viewer. Also, ensure the network port is correctly connected and the network settings are properly configured. As a last resort, try changing the hub to one that supports Gigabit.

If you've connected an external storage device (USB Memory, USB HDD) to your Samsung NVR and it's not being recognized, consult the compatibility list of external storage devices to ensure the connected device is supported by the NVR. Contact the retailer where you purchased the NVR for the compatibility list.

Why does the frame rate of the actual recording not match that of configured to the camera on my Samsung DVR?
S
Scott YoderSep 16, 2025
If the frame rate of the actual recording on your Samsung DVR does not match the configured frame rate of the camera, it may be because multiple profiles were applied to one camera for video transmission, causing the camera to service the video stream at a lower frame rate than specified. Configure your camera to use one profile for data streaming if possible. For example, set the same profile for recording and network profiles to ensure the specified frame rate is used for recording. Note that the allowed limit bitrate for recording / recording settings should be set to be bigger values than that of camera's feed.
