Appendix 2  
Frequently Asked Questions  
1. After Power up, “No HDD” message is flashing on the local monitor  
This is an indication that either the harddisks are not installed correctly or no harddisk is installed at all. Refer to  
Appendix 2 Hard disk installation. Also inside the DVR there is a yellow sticker with instructions on harddisk  
installation.  
2. When I power down the DVR, why do I have to press and hold the power button for 4 seconds?  
First of all, using the front orange power button to shut down the DVR will make sure the DVR properly finish and  
close all it operation and file system, thus eliminate many possible causes for harddisk errors leading to data loss.  
This is the correct way of powering down a DVR.  
Secondly, requiring holding the button for over 4 seconds is to avoid accidental shutdown of the DVR due to  
unintended touch of the button. You can make the shutdown more secure (i.e. avoid unauthorized shutting down)  
by  
activating  
the  
shutdown  
password  
protection  
feature.  
(MENU->ADMIN  
SETTING->OTHERS->SHUTDOWN PASSWORD)  
3. What does the sound of the buzzer mean when normally starting the machine  
When the machine is started successfully, it will tone out a short ring.  
When the HD can not be identified, it would tone out a longer ring.  
When communication with the controller panel is abnormal, it sends out a tone of one long ring and two short in  
series.  
4. Can I control the recording time?  
The recording time unit is per day. Besides timing recording, there are other recording methods such as motion  
detection recording, manual recording, external event triggering recording. Confirm that each of the settings is  
correct.  
5. The indicator light is flashing while recording˛  
Check the external video input signal first. Such phenomena would happen when the input signal is not  
standard. If it is not the input signal, it must be caused by that the reading speed of the HD is too slow. In this  
situation, the current HD should be changed.

6. Why the screen is black after I switch off and on the power?  
The power supply comes with the DVR has a built-in protection mechanism. After the power is shut down, you

again. If this does not correct the problem, contact your Mace technical support hotline.  
7. What kind of external equipment could be connected to the Recorder?  
It can work together with various matrix units, multiplexers, switchers, quads and PTZ Domes.

Hard Disk Installation  
Hard disk installationꢂ  
There is one 80G hard disk (HD) preinstalled in the Mace DVR, unless you ordered a special configuration. So  
normally you DO NOT have to go through these steps. This procedure only applies to cases where there is no  
built-in hard disk in the DVR or additional hard disks need to be installed.  
In total, a maximum of 8 large capacity hard disks can be installed inside the machine if a CD burner is not  
needed. With a CD burner, there can be a total of 5 internal large capacity hard disks. User can decide the  
number of hard disks according to required image quality, recording time and recording length.
