Q1. Why can’t I find the HDD?
a. Please check the power and SATA data cables of the HDD to make sure they are well
connected.
b. For some SMTs with the 1U or small 1U case, the power of the adapter may be not
enough for operating them. Please use the power adaptor supplied along with the SMT.
c. Please make sure the HDDs are compatible with the SMT. See Appendix C Compatible
Device List for details.
d. The HDD could have gone bad.

Q2. Why are there no images output in some or all of the camera windows?
a. Please make sure the resolutions of the cameras are supported by the SMT.
b. Please make sure the network cables of the IP camera and SMT are both connected
properly and the network parameters are set correctly.
c. Please make sure the network and the switch both work normally.

Q3. The screen has no output after booting the SMT normally.
a. Please make sure the screen, HDMI or VGA cables are good and well connected.
b. Please make sure the screen supports the resolution of 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or
3840*2160 (4K*2K). The SMT cannot self-adapt to the screen of which the resolution is lower
than 1280*1024, and then the screen will remind you that the screen resolution is not supported
by the SMT or just have no display. Please change a screen at 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or
3840*2160 resolution before booting the SMT.

Q4. Forget the passwords?


a. The password for admin can be reset through “Edit Security Question” function.
Click “Edit Security Question” in the login window and then enter the corresponding answer of
the selected question in the popup window, the password for admin will be reset to 123456 by
default. If you forget the answer of the question, this way will be invalid, please contact your
dealer for help.
b. The passwords of other users can be reset by admin, please refer to 12.1.2 Edit User for
details.

Q5. The SMT cannot add up to the maximum number of IP cameras?


Take the 8 CH SMT as an example. Some 8CH SMT support a maximum of 80Mbps
bandwidth input (the real product shall prevail). Refer to the picture below. The remaining
bandwidth should be larger than the bandwidth of the IP camera you want to add, or you would
fail to add the IP camera. You should lower the added cameras’ bitrate to release the bandwidth.
It is recommended to add cameras by “Quickly Add” for batch adding.

FAQ SMT User Manual

Q6. The IP camera which connects to the PoE port of the SMT cannot be displayed
automatically in the camera list, why?
a. Please check whether the resource of the PoE port is occupied by another IP camera that is
added through network.
 Take the 16 CH SMT with 8 PoE ports as an example. The resource distribution of the 16
CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below.

When you add IP cameras through network, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH1,
CH2, CH3, CH4… by the adding sequence; if you directly connect the IP cameras to the PoE
ports of the SMT, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH9 to CH16 according to the
number of the PoE port each IP camera is connecting to.
Supposing that 12 CH IP cameras have been added to the SMT through network and no IP
camera has been directly connected to the PoE port. The 12 CH IP cameras occupy the 8
network resources from CH1 to CH8 and 4 PoE resources from CH9 to CH12 which are
supposed to be occupied by connecting the IP cameras directly. In this situation, if you directly
connect one IP camera to PoE5, PoE6, PoE7 or PoE8, the IP camera will be displayed in the
camera list automatically; if you connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, it won’t be displayed
in the camera list by showing resource conflict; if you just need to connect it to PoE1, PoE2,
PoE3 or PoE4, you should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and
then reconnect it to the PoE port.
 Take the 8 CH SMT with 8 PoE ports as another example. The resource distribution of the
8 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below and the adding rules of the IP cameras are
similar to the rules mentioned in the above. Please refer to the above for details.

b. Please make sure that the internal Ethernet port and the IP camera which directly connects

107
FAQ SMT User Manual

to the PoE port through ONVIF protocol are in the same network segment.
The internal Ethernet port and the IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port through
ONVIF protocol should be in the same network segment, or you will fail to add the IP camera.
Log in the IP camera’s web client and then enable DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically);
or manually change the IP address of the IP camera to make it in the same network segment
with the internal Ethernet port.
c. Check whether the number of the added IP camera is the maximum.
If the number of the added IP camera is the maximum, the system will show you the message
that the IP camera number is beyond the maximum when you directly connect another IP
camera to the available PoE port and thus you will fail to add the IP camera.

Q7. The IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port of the SMT through ONVIF
protocol is shown in the camera list, but there is no image output, why?
Please make sure the username and password of the IP camera are correct. The IP camera’s
username and password can be modified through the two ways mentioned as below.
① Click “Edit Camera” in the Camera module of the setup panel to go to the interface as
shown below. Click to modify the username and password of the IP camera (enter the
correct username and password of the IP camera in the popup window and then click “OK”).

② Go to the live preview interface and then click in the preview window of the IP
camera to edit the IP camera’s username and password.

Q8. The system cannot record, why?


a. Make sure the HDD was formatted prior to use.
b. The record schedule has not been set in manual record mode. Please refer to 9.3.2 Record
Schedule Configuration for details.
c. Maybe HDD is full and thus the SMT is not able to record. Check HDD information from
Disk Management and if required, please enable the recycle function (please see 9.1.2
Advanced Configuration for details).
d. There is no disk but cameras in the disk group, so please add at least one disk to the group.
Refer to 9.5.2 Storage Mode Configuration for details.
e. The HDD could have gone bad. Please change another one.

Q9. Fail to access the SMT remotely through IE.


a. Please make sure the IE version is IE8 or above.

Calculate Recording Capacity SMT User Manual

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity


The recording capacity is mainly up to the record resolution, record stream and bitrate.
Different image quality parameters decide different disk capacity occupation in equal times.
The bigger the record resolution, record stream and record bitrate is, the more disk capacity is
taken up in equal times. The calculation format of recording capacity is shown as below.

Recording Capacity(MB) = Bitrate(Kbps) ÷1024 ÷ 8 × 3600 × Recording hours per day ×


Record Storage Days × channel numbers
3600 means record for an hour(1TB=1024GB,1GB=1024MB,1MB=1024KB,1Byte=8bit).
