If the monitor and system work fine before but quit working suddenly, please change the HDMI/VGA cable to check this issue.
If you have another monitor, please also exchange it to see if it can work. If necessary, you can also try to access your system on your computer to double-check.

What is an NVR?
An NVR, or “network video recorder” is a central unit that processes, records, and manages footage recorded by your surveillance cameras. An NVR recorder allows you to review and save footage, set up a recording schedule, and manage your surveillance.
Are Your Surveillance Camera Systems Hard to Set Up?
No. We have a full library of helpful videos and/or step-by-step directions for the components you purchase. Find the best surveillance camera system here, and your DIY experience will be smoother and easier than you can imagine.
Are There Any Front Door Peephole Cameras with Remote Viewing on My Cell Phone?
Definitely. We offer a front door peephole camera with remote viewing to any mobile device, fully-customizable motion detection, IR night vision, and full HD resolution.
What are the Advantages of Installing a Wifi Security Camera System?
A wifi security camera system is significantly easier to install than a traditional system, because there is no need to run special wires to each wifi camera. This not only helps the day of installation, but also allows clients to position cameras in places they might not otherwise be able to place them.
I tried to change the name of my camera, but I'm getting “Camera Does not support this function”.
It is possible that there are no cameras connected to that specific channel or the camera has lost connectivity. If you are using a third-party camera it is possible the ONVIF protocol supported by camera is outdated which does not support OSD configuration.
Is it possible to connect a third-party camera to a LaView NVR, or a LaView Camera to a third-party NVR?
Yes, if the third-party devices support the ONVIF protocol and you are using the correct setup for the specific camera.
I’m having issues connecting my NVR to my phone
Possible Fixes:
1.Please go to Menu-Configuration-Network and under the General tab make sure enable DHCP is selected, if it is not enabled then select enable and apply. If you had to enable it, restart the NVR and try the P2P setup again.
2.If you are still having issues, make sure DDNS is NOT enabled(unchecked). If DDNS is checked, uncheck it and apply then go back to Platform Access and disable P2P and apply. Once both are disabled, do a power cycle and reboot the unit. After the unit restarts enable P2P again, and do another power cycle.
3.Go to Extranet Access, Platform Access or DDNS and make sure LaView P2P is selected then apply, also make sure “Enable Stream Encryption” is disabled.
4. If none of these work, then it could be a network issue. Try to restart your modem/router by unplugging it for about 45 seconds. Plug it back in and restart the NVR, then try to reconnect your system to the P2P account.
How Do I find my system’s IP address?
To find your system's IP address go to Main Menu>Maintenance>System Info>Network. The IPv4 Address at the top is your local IP. If your IP address is 0.0.0.0 or 192.0.0.64, this means your system is offline. There are a few causes from this, but usually, it's a bad ethernet cable or the cable is not plugged in properly to either the DVR or Router. If those are checked to be correct, try restarting your router by unplugging it for a minute and restarting the DVR.
Can I Access a Feed from My Wifi Camera on My Cell Phone?
Yes. View your recordings or live footage anytime, anywhere! You can even and receive mobile push notifications. Stay connected at all times to your wifi camera system by simply downloading the free LaView Connect app, and enjoy your new window into your home.
Which Surveillance Camera Resolution is Best for Me?
The higher the resolution the more details you can capture in your footage. As this graphic shows, there can be noteworthy differences between a 1080p camera system, a 4MP camera security system, and a 4k security camera system. The only disadvantage to higher resolution cameras is that they consume more memory. High resolution cameras function best with motions detection cameras or larger hard drives. Many clients mix and match cameras for different applications. Feel free to call us at 626-898-4988 to discuss the best options for your specific situation.
