1. Check whether the voltage of MDVR is insufficient. If the voltage is less than the start-up voltage of
the device, the device would always restart.
2. The problem in hard disk/SD card may cause the failure to start. Take off the storage part and check
whether it is broken down.
3) The device can’t record?
