    1. Hello Cristi!

      Was this an amateur/DIY installation or an installation done by a professional company?

      Maybe the device has been attacked by a malware… what firewall do you use and what rules did you setup to prevent a potential attack?
      Or maybe some power outage affected it’s functionality… did you protect the device with a good, on-line UPS?
      Or maybe it’s just a DOA – dead-on-arrival. Have you thoroughly tested it before using it in a critical security-wise system?

      Please do respond to our questions so we can guide you further. Also, please do understand that we are a 3rd party company that tries to deliver better quality services and support. And, for this service, we require payments.

    1. Hello!

      It might be a hardware issue (disconnect all cameras and HDDs and retry) or a software issue (device infected with some sort of malware) – needs a firmware reflash.
