Please be sure to rate my help. :-)

Factory Reset Hidden Key :Mode Key + CH 2

The Password and all setting value will return to the initial default value.

Default Password is ‘4321’., Refer to 6-10p, 6-12p of User manual

I hope this helps.

most likely you have a bad board. try resetting the unit if this works great if not then you will have to send it in to be repaired.

You have to hook it up to a tv monitor and change the settings through the menu. It will originally include a password just to get you on, then you will immediately have to change it. After you do that you can access the menu where you can change the output settings

I believe there is a small hole on the face of the unit. power down the unit and incert a straighten paper clip to push the reset button, power up the unit wait 30 seconds and it should reset. if that does not work get back to me.

The manual says:

the values set at the factory. Keep pressing both the "MODE" button and the
"PTZ" button on the left for 5 seconds, Keep pressing both the "MODE" button
and the "PTZ" button on the left for 5 seconds. The password default is "4321".

I made a hook up from the shr 1040 to a pc monitor using a VGA converter box. Cost less then 40 ( check amazon) and simple to use as well as still use your pc on your monitor,

If you are hooking your cameras into the SMO-151qn then you can use the pigtail cable to connect to the Shr-1040. Make sure the video out from the SMO-151qn goes into the video in of the Shr-1040. If there is a choice use CH1. On the Shr-1040 hold down the mode button and press CH2 for about 10 seconds. The Shr-1040 should reboot. Once it comes up press the record button. After recording for a feww minutes stop the recording. On the SMO-151qn press the button on the front Live/Vcr. You should see the screen from your Shr-1040. IF you hit play you should see what you recorded. Good Luck!
