I had to unplug my unit over the weekend, after plugging back in I am now also getting a Disc Lost showing on my screen and no longer recording. Also has a ticking sound coming from the unit. I see it seems to be a common issue, is there any way to fix it?

Hi! Have a gdvr4340. All of a sudden disk is lost.... how do I fix this. Making a ticking sound too...

The disk is quite possible dead based on that ticking noise. I believe you can replace it and re-format it from the admin menu. Can you get into the admin menu still? if so check if a format option is available.
To replace it, it is probably a 1Tera byte (1TB) disk so maybe $100 or so to replace. You should buy a "Surveillance Hard Drive" and not an el cheap drive. But if you do not have the techncial skills you will need to find someone technically minded to do this.
Yes, I can get to the formatting still. I will give that a go and also phone Uniden as I think it is under warranty - thank you for your response!

Margaret Gwatkinasked
Hi there we rebooted our system to facor reboot and now its doesn't work at all. Any ideas?
1 answer
What was wrong that gave you reason to return it to factory default? That may provide a hint on what is now wrong. For example a dead hard disk.

Hi, i installed my GDVR 42/82 in accordance with instruction. I downloaded the App on my phone ( Samsung ) and registered the device but it doesn't work! It give me message "the device is offline". Please help

Check your home internet connection as it needs a wired connection to the router/modem. Can you see it on your network? UNIDEN Customer support can help far better than I. Cheers
ongasked
Need extension wire of 5 meter each for 2 cameras. Where can I get its.
1 answer
For this system you need an AHD (Analogue High Definition) cable. Default cable seems to be 18m and the next size up is 100m. I would think you could put x2 cables together (18+18=36m). Connection for video is BNC. UNIDEN sell cables through their online shop and were cheaper than Jaycar. Maybe a security cam installer could make a shorter cable if you needed?
