the light on the power supply is solid green but dims next to nothing when i turn the dvr on and it starts its high bpm purr of a breeeeep. the name of the dvr was just in the software, it seem. the front just mention 960h realtime recording dvr or something . no light, nothing written in the little front screen. no signal on the monitors. the system worked night and day for a good 5 or 6 years, i forget. there are a dozen power failure every year i guess it took a toll on the hard drive; i had some no signal close calls before but it always came tru after a couple of hours. i tried to plug the power supply in another electric socket: same thing. I’ll try to replace the power supply to see if it’s as simple as this but i doubt it. i guess I’ll have to buy a new dvr and since I have about 20 cameras it’ll cost me a chunk. I guess i could try to swap the drive and install some free dvr software on it? any good ez does it ressources at that level?
