These are the most common issues on the Sannce CCTV system, therefore a complete compilation of all errors and troubleshooting against them are in detail for the users.

How to Reset the Sannce Camera?

The camera’s default password is blank (nothing).

If you forget the new password you made or the default password admin doesn’t work, please reset the camera so that the password defaults to blank.

1. Power on the camera and connect this camera to the router by the Ethernet cable.
2. After you power on the cameras for 15 seconds, open the waterproof cover at the back of the camera, to find the reset button.
3. Hold on the reset button for 15-20 seconds to reset the camera.

Sannce DVR power light flashing

A rapidly flashing green power LED usually indicates that the camera’s firmware has encountered an error. This is rare but can occasionally happen after an unexpected power cut (if the camera is in the middle of performing a task), due to incorrect settings in the camera (too many enabled tasks, conflicting settings etc.), or due to a faulty SD card.

This can usually be resolved with a reset of the camera. 

How to Reset the Password of Sannce DVR?

1. Plug DVR to the router by Ethernet cable.

2. Get a windows computer that is connected to the same router. Install software.

3. Run the software and it will detect the camera‘s IP.

4. Select the camera‘s IP and click forget a password at the right bottom of the software.

5. Click export and select the path to export a file. Please don’t change the file’s name and send this file to support@sannce.com.

They will send you a code or file to unlock the system.

Note:

Please do NOT turn off your DVR and the SADP software after you exported the files. Otherwise, the exported file will be invalid immediately.

Please use the key file from us as soon as possible because it’s only valid for 24 hours.

6. Select “Import File” and choose the file we sent to you.
Input your DVR/NVR’s new password in “New Password” and “Confirm Password”, tick the option “Reset Network Cameras’ Passwords“, click “Confirm” to finish reset.

Note:

Before doing step 6, please connect as many cameras to the NVR as possible, since only the connected cameras’ password can be reset together with NVR’s.

Sannce CCTV Network Error

Plug DVR or NVR into the router with a network cable if you want to use a computer or phone to connect the recorder locally or remotely.

You can judge whether the recorder was connected to the internet by the status of a network like the picture below.

If the status is not connected, it means the recorder did not connect to the cloud successfully.

Here are the methods:

Please check the yellow and green light on the Ethernet port of the recorder. One should be blinking which indicates the recorder has connected to the router successfully. If not, please change the Ethernet port of the router or another reticle to have a try.

Go to the Main menu–>System–>Network to confirm DHCP is ticked.

Please restore the recorder to the factory default setting.

If you have, please change to another router to have a try.

Please sent an email to support@sannce.com to ask for new firmware to upgrade. But you need to inform us of the model of your system. It is made up of numbers and letters such as DL81A. You can find it at the bottom of the recorder. Please refer to this link to find it.
