Question: I power on my DVR and it beeps constantly, what is causing this? The video is also displayed in black and white.
Answer: The DVR is in the incorrect composite video mode. This can cause a 'Tamper' alarm, generating the constant beeping.
To correct follow these steps:
- Menu
- Configuration
- CVBS Output Standard
- Set this to PAL
- Apply
- Confirm to restart the recorder
Beeping will cease and the images should now be in colour (assuming daylight and cameras are colour)
