Q: How do I share the system/camera to another person?
-
Q: What is the maximum line of sight distance between the base unit and a camera?
A: Wireless cameras are affected by a lot of environments, so they can't give a definite range of work. It is recommended that the NVR be placed in the center of the monitoring area, and the installation position of the IPC (wireless camera) and NVR should avoid the obstacle as much as possible. When the cameras are connected at the same time in an open area and there are no obstacles between the NVR and the IPCs, the IPC is placed in a spherical coverage area with a radius of 80 meters with the NVR ideally at the center; The recommended radius is reduced to 40 meters when there is one wall between the NVR and the IPCs, when there are two walls, it is reduced to 20 meters radius(coverage is affected by the physical properties of the obstacles and the surrounding environment, this data is for reference only).

Q: How to stop beep beep beep of the NVR?
-
Q: Instead of mounting a camera outdoors, can I position it indoors aimed at a window?
-
Q: What type of hard drive can I replace the current one with?
A: The hard drive is 2.5 inch internal SATA HDD, you could buy one and install it into the NVR box, go into system setup>> HDD setup, choose the hard drive and format it, the HDD will work. This system supports up to 6TB hard drive, and if the hard drive is over 2TB, we suggest you purchase a 12V3A power supply for NVR box, the bigger hard drive needs more power.
-
Q: Cameras work well in day time, but at night I can't see anything.
A: Please troubleshoot installation error first: Please don't place the camera next to the wall or towards something reflective, they reflect light strongly, so you will not see anything in night vision; Please don't turn the camera toward a very empty place or a large area, there would not be enough reflected light so that you won't see anything in night vision; Please don't place the camera indoors toward the window; the window glass will reflect the infrared light to the camera lens, so you won't see anything in night vision. Solution: Please adjust the camera angle or change the camera's position. If the installation position is good, please check if the camera is energized or not. Steps: plug in a working power supply to the camera, cover the front end of the camera or cover the LED indicator below the 3pcs IR LED of the camera, to see if the 3pcs IR LED work or not; If the IR LED works, please double click corresponding camera to make it full screen, right click the mouse on that camera interface, select Color adjust, check if IR cut mode for that camera is Infrared or not; If mode is right, please kindly email us your product order ID, and clear picture showing camera night vision problem, along with picture of that camera Color adjust info at info@ohwoai.net, we will verify and get it resolved as soon as possible; If the IR LED doesn't work, please email us picture showing that, along with your your product order ID and delivery address at info@ohwoai.net; we will verify and send replacement for you as soon as possible; thanks for your time.

Q: How do I reorder the sequence that my cameras appear on the monitor?
A: Please go into Video Manage, click the camera you want to change order, then click the Up Arrow or Down Arrow Icon, you can reorder the sequence. If there is no Arrow Icon, we are afraid that you'll have to delete all cameras then match code the cameras with the NVR again one by one(please check the channel first then match code the camera).

Q: When I first install the system, after initializing, the screen is black, what is the problem?
A: That is because your TV/Monitor doesn’t support Full HD picture, please change another TV(resolution supports 1280x1024 or above), or connect the NVR system to TV/Monitor by VGA cable, the video resolution transmit by VGA is lower than HD picture. If the above problem occurs in the case of VGA connection, please use HDMI to connect the system with TV(resolution supports 1280x1024 or above), go into System setup>> Screen setup, use drop-down box to select a lower resolution for VGA resolution that your computer monitor supports, then use VGA to connect the system with your computer monitor.
