•Check that you’re using the DVR power adapter
supplied with this DVR. If the power adapter
doesn’t provide sufficient power for the DVR, it
may power up but not have enough power to
operate the hard drive.

and it is correctly installed. If you installed your
own security hard drive, ensure the hard drive is
formatted so the DVR will record.
