Troubleshooting

Web access problems with Internet Explorer 9?
Follow the steps below if you have issues connecting to your DVR using Internet Explorer 9.

  1. If you are running a 64bit operating system, make sure to launch the 32bit version of Internet Explorer 9.
    • If you are using Windows 7, just click on the start key and type Internet Explorer.
      32bit IE
  2. Enter your DVRs IP address and press enter
  3. Click on the Compatibility View icon in the address bar.
    Compatibility mode icon
  4. The page should now refresh in compatibility mode and display the login screen.

How do I convert/save my DVR recordings?
You can save/convert your recordings to AVI format only. To do so click the button shown in "Media Player" (supplied on the Software Disc with the DVR).

To save your recording to another format, you will require 3rd party software (for example: Freemake Video Converter) and follow their instructions to convert your saved AVI to your desired format.

Why is the DVR triggering my security alarm system?

The Doss RPDVR series DVRs (except the RPDV4CHECO) are able to connect to your existing security alarm installation and can trigger an alarm if it thinks the unit is being tampered with. This includes abruptly cutting off the power to the DVR, or illegally stopping the recording process. As soon as power is restored, the DVR will continue to record.
