GE Security DVMRe-16CT-160 16-CHANNEL Color ******* Multiplexer-Recorder with 160-GB Hard Drive, Ethernet problems. Help!! Sometimes the system switches on and stays on for a short period of time, other times not at all. Anyone any ideas please??

If memory serves me correct, most of the GE/Truvision etc. DVRs have to be sent back in for the password to be defaulted. I may be incorrect on this, will double check.

The DVMRe uses a 12VDC, 4.0A supply. with center +
It's a standard barrel-type connector.
Note that if the supply isn't capable of 4 Amps or better, the unit will turn on, then go back off immediately, then try again forever

Sorry this thing it garbage now.The hard drive have bad sectors on the boot up.This can't be repair except replaced the hard drive.Not worth to fix,if have to replaced the hard drive.

I would switch monitors and see if the problem still exists. Sounds like the monitor not the Dvmre.

Go to this site and download WaveReader software.

Hit menu button, top right of jog, installer code is 3477, then use jog and dial to change settings. These must be done locally!

The factory default code to reset the system is 8111, however this will reset all program functions back to the factory settings, with the exception of the time and date. The default Operator code to use the system is enter, enter, enter, enter. This should allow you to operate the system.

Check in the settings and make sure it is selected to be on.
