11 Troubleshooting
Why can’t I successfully format a hard disk drive when I create a volume?
The hard disk might be broken so you must replace it with a new hard disk drive
and try to create the volume again as described in 10.1 Create Storage
Volumes on page 35.
When the OS file system is FAT32 and the software is installed in the same
drive as the OS then it will always fail to create a volume. Always change the
OS file system to NTFS or install the software in another partition other than the
OS partition then try to create the volume again.
Why does the software shows "0.0.0.0" for the system’s IP address?
There are two Ethernet adapter cards in the system but in default state the NVR
always uses the newly added one. Disable one of the cards and change the IP
setting if necessary then restart the NVR service and the software.
NVR’s Ethernet adapter card isn’t connected to the network switch. Connect the
Ethernet cable to the network switch and then restart the NVR service and the
software.
Why can’t any camera be found by Auto Discovery?
The camera’s IP address has different subnet settings from the NVR (the
Ethernet adapter card).
It is likely that the camera isn’t supported by the software, please see the
supported cameras list at Vanderbilt website at:
http://www.vanderbiltindustries.com/
Why can't I get any video after the camera is added?
The possible root cause might be:
Wrong username and password
Wrong IP address
Firewall or Anti-Virus software blocks the communication port required on the
camera (ex: 554 for Axis)
Network wire or power cable is disconnected
The total camera bandwidth is over network bandwidth
