Hello,

I have just moved into my new home which already as 4 colour cctv cameras positioned around the house, these connect into a DVR/M4E hdd system. I cant see a company logo on the system, everything was fine until about a month ago we had 3 power cuts 1 after the other. The cameras wont come back on and the DVR is sounding an alarm. the screen now says PAL initializing?

Am i to perform last rights on it ?

help please please please

cheers woodsy 278

Hello Woddy,

I would recommend an Total re boot and then buy or add Extra power supply from something like extra battery.

Total System boot should put it back to Factory Settings so it be an about 1hour setting all dates and cameras and connections all back up just like you just fitted everything.

Hi there, the reason you have a sound (buzzer) coming from the dvr is that its reporting 'video loss' (so people know if cables have been cut) i'm guessing the power supply thats feeding your camera's may of blown a fuse, or been surged, The problem with having batteries Chris is that they can keep the power going out to the camera's (12 Volt) i'm asuming, but they wont power the Dvr or Monitor! I'd do as chriss has said, remove all power from the psu and dvr, then reboot them both and all should revert back to factory settings, then re-program the whole system and you should be ok! If not give us a shout and i'll see what else i can do, regards Iain

As you are aware of power loss and Just to check you are not getting any building work in your house, As if that NO then as Iain said and myself said I would recommend an System re boot and if that Don't work Just give me an buzz and I can see how I could help you.
