5. Why does the J-series security system offline after using a period of time?
Long time use may cause damage to the power supply, so we first consider whether the camera can be powered on normally. Please block the infrared sensor of the lens and check whether the infrared LED is on. If the infrared led does not work, it is likely that the power supply is damaged. It is recommended to replace the 12V / 1A power supply which can work normally for infrared led test to eliminate the power supply problem. If the infrared light can be on, we consider that the signal between the camera and the video recorder is temporarily cut off. Please try the following operations to recover: 1. The antenna of outdoor camera may not be tightened due to strong wind and other environmental factors. Please ensure that the camera antenna is tightened and kept vertical, and check whether the camera can automatically return to the successful connection state. 2. If the camera can’t go online automatically, we add the camera by recoding. First, remove the camera and place it next to the video recorder, plug in the power supply for the camera and the video recorder, connect the camera and the video recorder with the network cable, and observe whether the network port light flashes normally. If the network port light does not flash or jumps quickly, please replace the network cable for coding. Mail the mouse in the main interface of the video recorder to enter the camera management interface, delete the offline channel first, and then click search to observe whether the IP address with the beginning of 192 appears. If the IP address with the beginning of 192 appears, please click the matching code and return to the main interface to observe whether the real-time picture can be displayed normally. If you can’t find the IP address at the beginning of 192, please install our special search software (see the attachment) on the computer to make the computer and the camera in the same network environment and search the camera. If IP can be found, the reason is likely to be the original cable failure, please replace a cable to search again. 3. I believe that your problem has been solved by this step. As the camera and video recorder of the wireless package are connected through WiFi, the change of installation environment may affect the WiFi signal received by the camera. After reconnecting the camera and the video recorder, please ensure that the distance between the camera and the video recorder is within 15m, and try to avoid wall and glass installation.

1. First of all, please check whether the power supply of your video recorder is 12V / 2a and the power supply of your camera is 12V / 1a. If you plug in the two power supplies by mistake, the video recorder will not be able to start the hard disk because of insufficient voltage, so the video recorder will not recognize the hard disk. Please plug in the correct power supply. 2. If you replace the hard disk, and it is easier than the original hard disk, the original 12V / 2A power adapter is not enough to drive the hard disk. Please tell us the size of your hard disk, and we will recommend the available adapter specifications for you. 3. The loose contact between the video recorder and the hard disk will also cause the hard disk to be unrecognized. Please try to turn off the power supply of the video recorder, screw out the four screws in the middle of the back of the video recorder, pull out the connecting line of the hard disk, and then connect the video recorder again to observe whether it can be recovered.
