Please confirm whether your NVR meets any of the following symptoms:

  • NVR reboots constantly. On the log of the router, NVR keeps disconnecting and connecting.
  • Random gaps in the playback timeline. (All channels lost the recording at the same time, and the gap is greater than 30s).
  • A lot of "startup" on the NVR's log page. (Get to the Search--Log search page and check if there are startup logs to confirm if the NVR reboots. If there's random "Startup", that means the NVR reboots itself).

Troubleshooting Steps for Reolink NVR Keeps Rebooting

1. Ensure whether cameras are directly connected to the NVR when the NVR automatically restarts.

  • If yes, unplug all the cameras, and then connect the cameras back one by one to see if the problem is caused by a specific camera or PoE port of the NVR. 
  • Confirm whether the third-party camera is connected to the NVR. If yes, please unplug it to see if it resolves the issue.

2. Make sure to use the original power adapter for the NVR. Try to change the wall outlet or use a different power supply for the test.

3. Ensure the camera and NVR are properly grounded.

  • If the NVR or camera is installed on a metal surface, install an insulating object in the middle to separate it.
