List of Xvim Camera Troubleshooting

Xvim Camera Not Recording

Misconfiguration, lack of storage capacity, and malfunctioning DVR components are major explanations if your CCTV camera is working fine but the DVR is not recording anything. Don’t worry: today’s DVR units are user-friendly and simple to troubleshoot.

  • Make sure that recording is turned on. It may seem self-evident, yet it occurs. The DVR box may cease recording without your knowledge if you return a device to its factory settings, or if the settings became damaged and were automatically returned to factory defaults.
  • Check your CCTV and DVR settings to make sure that recording is turned on permanently, or at least for the time you’re troubleshooting. Some devices may be set up to exclusively capture footage at specific intervals.
  • Make sure your DVR’s recording media has enough storage capacity. Remove any video that you don’t require.
  • Check the network connections of your DVR if it uploads footage to a network server or a cloud account. It’s possible that its local storage is full.
  • The hard drive in your DVR might be deteriorating. Because many DVRs contain a limited on-board Flash storage for their software and solely use the hard drive for recording, your DVR may continue to operate even if it can no longer save footage.

Xvim CCTV not working on mobile

If you can’t see your CCTV on your mobile device, it’s because your Internet Router (WiFi) isn’t delivering an internet connection to your CCTV Recorder (DVR / NVR). There might be a number of causes for this, so please start by identifying the app you’re using from the list below.

Once you are sure about the setup is done with zero error then go down the list and see how you can troubleshoot this problem, however a complete setup is in detailed below.

  1. Check the internet connection is actually working at home / businesses first. Can you connect to your Wi-Fi? Can you load internet pages?
  2. If the connection between the router (internet Wi-Fi) and recorder (DVR/NVR) is hard wired, then please reboot both your router and your CCTV first and check again.
  3. If you are using the TP Link Powerline Adapters then please ensure that the adapters are displaying three green lights on them. If the adapters display two or less lights the connection will not work. This usually happens during a power surge or spike. To rectify this, you will need to turn off the TP Link Plug from the mains switch, count to five – then turn it back on. You should then see three green lights on the plugs, thus restoring the internet connection to your CCTV.
  4. Does your phone receive an internet signal? Is it connected to Wi-Fi or 4g?
  5. If the above is all correct, and your app is still showing the device as ‘offline’, please refresh your app by dragging down with your finger the camera list view. This will update the feed within your app.
  6. If you checked all of the above and are confident the issue it not with your internet, then please contact their support via email and log a ticket.
