1.1Frequently Asked Questions

.

1.1.1Why is there a part of channels displaying “No Resource” or turning black screen in multi-screen live view?

.

Reason

1.Sub-stream resolution or bitrate settings is inappropriate.

2.Connecting sub-stream failed.

Solution

1.Go to Camera → Video Parameters → Sub-Stream . Select the channel, and turn down the resolution and max. bitrate (resolution shall be less than 720p, max. bitrate shall be less than 2048 Kbps).

.

Note

If your video recorder notifies not support this function, you can log in to the camera, and adjust video parameters via web browser.

2.Properly set the sub-stream resolution and max. bitrate (resolution shall be less than 720p, max. bitrate shall be less than 2048 Kbps), then delete the channel and add it back again.

1.1.2Why is the video recorder notifying risky password after a network camera is added?

.

Reason

The camera password is too weak.

Solution

Change the camera password.

.

.

Warning

We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (Using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three of the following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

.

.

1.1.3Why is the video recorder notifying the stream type is not supported?

.

Reason

The camera encoding format mismatches with the video recorder.

If the camera is using H.265/MJPEG for encoding, but video recorder does not support H.265/ MJPEG, change the camera encoding format to the same as video recorder.

.

1.1.4How to confirm the video recorder is using H.265 to record video?

.

Solution

Check if the encoding type at live view toolbar is H.265.

.

1.1.5Why is the video recorder notifying IP conflict?

.

Reason

The video recorder uses the same IP address as other devices.

Change the IP address of video recorder. Ensure it is not the same as other devices.
