I have the power and record light flashing continoiusly.

A flashing green light on a Swann 960H Pro Series security camera system can indicate a few different things, depending on the specific model and configuration of your system. Some possible causes of a flashing green light include:

1. The camera is in setup mode: When a camera is first powered on, it may flash a green light to indicate that it is in setup mode and ready to be configured.
2. The camera is in standby mode: When the camera is not actively recording, it may flash a green light to indicate that it is in standby mode and ready to start recording.
3. The camera is recording: Some models of the Swann 960H Pro Series security camera system have a green light that flashes when the camera is recording.
4. The camera is low on power: Some models of the Swann 960H Pro Series security camera system have a green light that flashes when the camera is low on power.
5. The camera is malfunctioning : Some models of the Swann 960H Pro Series security camera system have a green light that flashes when the camera is malfunctioning.

You don't. As the name implies, the flash is used to provide a very brief burst of light, usable for taking still photographs but not for videos.

For videos you need a continuous source of light, such as video lights or movie lights. Be aware that such things consume much more power and usually require that they be plugged in.

My DVR box is powered up but, i get no picture and the HDD red light is flashinG

Be aware that SCMS "prohibited" recordings will trip this flashing light, and will not output. You will have to make an analog copy.

Generally the timer flashing means that ethier a programme for recording is set to record or wrong information is added. You need to check the timer record menu to see if a recording is schedule. I suggest you might need to get a remote for the model or get a universal one. Placing a blank tape in a powering down, should see the timer stop, but if a recording schedule is there it will still be on. The only way to clear it (without the remote) might to let it record! You don't give the make or model so I can't say anymore.

the problem can be the flyback transformer or surrounding component. check if you how to do that . If you don't know don't do that because it is very dangerous.

the same thing happens to me! idk how to fix it

As I have been writing on other HD1/2 problems, sometimes it can be the card which is an issue. If the card is too slow or perhaps corrupted then the device can find it difficult to record.

This and other soft faults (that are reperable by turning the power on and off, changing or reinserting the card, removing the battery) are often indicated by a flashing red recording light.

thats an indication that no disc or wrong type of disc is present. Have you tryed to clean the laser lens>> or using the approved lens cleaner for this unit?? try it and see you may be surprised. good luck
