Question about Swann Communications R-DVR16

Screen image disappears

Brought home the Swann DVR 8 model (the manual says 8/16 so I am guessing they are similar) and the video image from the camera disappears. It correctly captures the video image and displays it on screen (I just have one camera hooked up) for about 50-60 seconds just fine. Then all of a sudden it starts getting fuzzy, fades out and gives me a "No Input" message on the screen and some static and blue. I have restarted the system several times now and it just repeats...switched cables and it did the same thing...Any ideas what is going oh here?

SOURCE: regarding dvr4-net-plus, video output is

Hello,

The graphic settings is the cause of this. The display on the monitor has to be on either NTSC or PAL depending on your area/location.

Also after starting the DVR, you must ensure that the DVR's input video (NTSC/PAL) and your TV/Monitor (NTSC/PAL) are both set to the same standard.

If they are not set to the same standard, that is, if the DVR is set to PAL and TV/monitor is set to NTSC, this can cause the video out put to have constant horizontal line.........

So make sure both video output are the same....

I hope you understand the above.

Good luck.

Is Swann PRO-1080FLD camera compatible with my TECHview 8 CH AHD 720P DVR Model No QV - 3147 DVR. Compatible Recorders: DVR-4575, DVR-4580

No its not. You might get it display an image but will probably be black and white as the resolution on the cam is higher than the supported resolution on the dvr

Video footage is poor quality, freezes and jumps.

That's a SWANN for you. I would contact the seller and ask for a new DVR to replace what sounds like a defect. Possibly a hard drive issue. COnverting to AVI is not something that should only work occasionally.

Power died at dvr will not power up. Screen says video loss and then goes black

The video loss is telling you that there is no video, so this is to be expected. When you plug in the NVR, does it power up at all? If not, it could be a power or cord issue. Check that out first and then check with Swann if you have any warranty.
