My DVR froze after a period of time. I cannot use any control on the DVR.
If the DVR controls are no longer operating but the recording light is flashing. The best action to take is to turn the DVR power off, wait for 5 seconds, then turn the power back on. The DVR will resume operation. If the problem persist, please contact our technical support for further assistance.

  1. Make sure you can view your DVR from your internal network.

  3. Log on to the Admin Console of your Router/Access point provided by your Internet Service Provider.
  4. Navigate to Advance Network Setup and find "Port Forwarding" or "Pinhole".
  5. Create a Port Forward rule that pertains to the HTTP port specified in your DVR.
  6. Make sure the IP address of the Port Forwarding rule is the IP address of the DVR.
  7. Save the Rule and restart the router/access point.
  8. Log back onto the Router/Access point and make sure the Port Forward Rule applied.  If not, repeat step 4 thru 7.

You may have an IP address conflict.  Your internal IP address of your DVR might be in conflict with another machine on the same LAN.  Please adjust the range of your DHCP server of your router to exclude the IP address of your DVR.  Restart your Router, then restart your DVR and any machine on your LAN.
