Why Your Hikvision Camera Is Not Recording
If your Hikvision camera is not recording, there are several common issues that might be causing the problem. Here’s a checklist to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
-
Check the Recording Schedule:
- Ensure that the camera is configured to record continuously or set to record based on motion detection. Verify the recording schedule settings to confirm they are correctly set.
-
Verify Storage Availability:
- Check if the hard drive connected to your NVR has enough available space and is functioning properly. A full storage device will prevent the camera from recording new footage.
-
Confirm Camera-NVR Connection:
- Make certain that the camera is properly connected to the NVR. Check the connection status in the NVR interface to ensure that the camera is recognized and online.
-
Inspect Recording Settings:
- Review the recording parameters, such as resolution and bitrate, to make sure they are appropriately configured for the camera. Inadequate settings may lead to recording issues.
