2) Rec. File Size Calculation
Rec. file size for each channel is:
Recording time (s) x Stream (Kbps) / 8 / 1024 = File Size (MB)
e.g. The file size of the channel-1 with D1 image quality within 1 hour:
3600 x 2048 Kbps / 8 / 1024 = 900 MB

FAQ
15
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Unable to Power on
Check the input power, whether the power wire is connected correctly, whether the ground wire is
connected back to the battery, and whether the fuse on the power wire is in good condition.
Check whether the ACC signal wire input to the power is with voltage higher than 7 V.
Check whether the device key is closed.
2) Always in Restart Status
Check whether the voltage is insufficient. If the voltage is less than the start-up voltage of the device,
the device would always restart.
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) Unable to Record
Check whether the storage disk is installed, whether it is in good contact, and whether the disk can
be read normally in computer.
Check whether the storage disk is formatted. The storage disk should be formatted before normally
storing record files.
Check whether there is video signal input into the device from camera, and whether there is
video/image on the screen.
4) No Voice in Record File
Check whether there is an external pickup, or whether the camera features with the function of
audio collection.
Access to Video Channel Settings, check ifAudio is set on.
There must be video input into the channel for recording and it must record normally.
5) GPS works abnormally
Check whether the GPS antenna is installed correctly. There is a silk print logo on the GPS antenna
holder behind the host device.
Check whether the antenna receiver is sheltered. It should not be covered by any stuff, which may
cause it not to receive signals.
Environmental influence such as tree shades, being inside tunnel, driving near tall building or
elevated roads, thunderstorms or other weather influence, etc. can also cause signal loss or
receiving wrong signals.
6) Can’t Shutdown in Ignition Switch Mode
Check if the ACC line connection mode is correct; and check whether there is voltage on ACC
yellow line when the key is turned off.
If the device has been set with schedule recording, it can’t shutdown if it is still during recording time
of the task table.
