Install & Troubleshooting Tips
- Connect directly to the DVR; avoid very thin/long DC extensions that cause voltage drop.
- If the DVR reboots or shows No Signal randomly, replace the PSU first — a weak adapter is a common cause.
- Match voltage (12V) and polarity (centre-positive). Using a higher Amp rating is fine; the DVR draws only what it needs.
