• The Digia II DVR boots up to a startup screen but does not progress to live mode.
The Digia II runs a self-diagnostic test once the unit powers up. If a failure is detected, such as a fan, hard
drive, or Ethernet, the unit may not boot completely. Contact technical support.
• The Digia II DVR only records for a few hours.
Verify that motion recording is set up properly by following the instructions in
The DVR will record at a lower frame rate when motion has not been detected, to conserve hard disk
space. Once a camera detects motion, the DVR will record at a higher frame rate to ensure a higher
resolution during motion events playback.
• The monitor displays no picture.
First, verify the equipment is wired properly. Refer to your installation documentation for assistance.
Verify that all of the wires used work properly.
Verify that the recorder is properly powered.
• There is no display coming from one of the channels on the DVR.
Verify that the problem comes from the recorder or the camera. Take a working camera and plug it into the
port that seems to not be working properly. If you see a picture, the original recorder or camera is faulty.
