FAQs

Can I view these cameras remotely?

Yes, once the DVR is connected to your home network, you can access the feed through compatible HILOOK software.

Does the system record audio?

This specific HILOOK 8MP system model focuses on high-resolution video and does not include integrated microphones for audio recording.

What happens when the 1TB hard drive fills up?

The system is designed to overwrite the oldest footage automatically, ensuring you always have the most recent recordings available.

Can I use these cameras in heavy rain?

Yes, the cameras are built for outdoor use and are rated to withstand environmental elements.

Do I need a monitor to set up the system?

A local monitor connected via HDMI or VGA is recommended for the initial configuration and system setup.

Is the system expandable beyond 8 cameras?

No, this system is limited to 8 channels. You would need a separate recorder if you require more than 8 camera inputs.

Troubleshooting

No image on the connected monitor

Verify all video cables are tightly connected to both the camera and the DVR, and ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source.

Night vision is blurry or reflected

Ensure the camera is not pointed directly at a wall or nearby object, which can cause infrared light to bounce back into the lens.

DVR is not recording

Check the system settings to ensure the hard drive is initialized and that the recording schedule is active.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Planning: Map out camera locations before drilling to ensure the included cables reach the central DVR location.
  2. Installation: Secure the cameras to mounting surfaces using the provided hardware, ensuring cables are shielded from direct exposure where possible.
  3. Connection: Connect each camera to the BNC inputs on the rear of the 8CH recorder.
  4. Power: Plug the recorder into a stable power source, ideally using a surge protector to safeguard the internal hard drive.
