    Here is a rundown of my situation:

     

    - Model Swann DVR8-1580

    - Recently purchased it

    - Already been replaced under warranty for same issue (after 1 week), so I presume its cables/power supply etc

    - I am intermittently losing camera vision randomly on cameras 4-8, sometimes more than one.

    - Example: camera 7 goes black (does NOT say no signal)

    - PROBLEM IS RESOLVED EVERY TIME BY RESTARTING DVR

    - Cameras 1-4 always working

    - I have swapped all the power supplies for new ones and interchanged them, no difference

    - All wiring tested with multi-meter (no shorts that I can detect)

     

    Would appreciate any advice, Swann has no idea.

    Long story of why I need this, but essentially I am trying to make the system as easy as possible to use for elderly parents.

     

    If the DVR restarts after a power outage for example, it boots up with 3x3 (9 camera view). I want to system to default to the 4 camera view instead.

     

    Is this possible with a firmware edit or something?

     

    System is a Swann - SWDVK-8720T4D2 (DVR8-1580 8 channel)

     

    Cheers
