How do I fix my digimerge dvr problems?

Check the connection from the DVR to the router. You may need to reset the router.

Your hard drive might be defective and the beeping alarm is the warning that there is no device to record on.

You can try here... not exactly sure what you are looking for but there is information on the VCE300 series DVR's on this page:

The digimerge website has the download info under "discontinued" tab. This link will get it installed on your laptop for you.

there should be a settings in recording.. its either something like Linear or circular.. select circular and it will record over the earliest footage on a continuous loop.

I have the ame problem. also need help with email setup. digimerge will not help. horrible co. they say I have to pay a tech to come out. no support whatsoever.

The installer manual and the operator manual for the D204161 are both available here: http://www.digimerge.com/Security-DVR-D204161/ . Click on the Download tab. The direct link for the operator manual is: http://www.digimerge.com/images/file/76/Operators%20Manual%20for%20the%20D204%20Series.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Will it show any lights on the front display at all? If there are no front light, then there may be a power problem, try plugging the unit into another socket and if the red light inside the unit returns and wont display anything else the I suspect that it may be a burnt out power pack, which will need to be replaced by a service technician due to the high voltages with power sources.
Hope this has helped :D
Any more questions please just ask!

The problem did not have anything to do with the DVR (Digimerge VCE 308301). It did however, have everything to do with the cameras' power supply system.

First, I contacted the company's (Digimerge) tech department; and they were of no help since the DVR system is obsolete. There are no replacement/spare parts available; e.g. mainboard and daughter boards...and of course, they don't have schematic diagrams for the DVR either. And due to its obsolesence- there is no tech support. (It makes me wonder why, though, how security and electronic vendors can in good conscious sell this obsolete model DVR for $1,400 and upwards of $2,200.00 to the unsuspecting consumer/end-user.)

Since I was able to boot up the DVR system and access the BIOS menu; and considering that the screen was showing that it was in record mode- and the system BIOS was keeping the proper date and time, I believed that there was something else going on with the security system.

I contacted the customer and went out to their home- as I was about to hook up the cameras to each input behind the DVR- by happenstance, I checked the power supply panel to make sure that the power supply had been turned off (which the home owner failed to do). Having turned off the cameras' power supply, I then made all my camera hook-ups to the DVR. When I turned the power supply to the camera system on, I was able to get a video signal, hence a nice clear picture. I did check the voltage draw on each power terminal at about 12.5 vdc and a visual check on the infra- red led's on each of the security cameras were lit.

Problem solved, right!?...WRONG!

Several hours later, I received a call from the homeowner that his security system was not working again. The first thing I noticed as I pulled into the customer's driveway was that all the cameras' infra-red led's were out. I immediately placed my volt meter on the output side of the transformer at each of the cameras' power terminal- and waddya' know- I was barely reading over 1 vdc. Apparently- over time, the transformer starts to overheat and the voltage drops out. After it cools down though, the voltage resumes to 12.5vdc to power up the cameras.

This is my first experience working on a secuirty camera system so I hope this has been as much of a learning experience for you novices as it has been for me!

You can try holding down mode and channel 2 at
the same time for 10 secs. This should reboot the recorder.
