It is very rare to see 0x06. How old is your drive in this unit? Also, You may want to upgrade your firmware as its very old.   

Drive is about four months old. 

What steps do I need to follow to update my firmware?  How do I locate the latest?

Please send an email request to support@securitycameraking.com with your Serial Number and the information you gave above, also adding your Order number or account information in order to receive the firmware files and assistance.  

Please ensure that your current drive is also a Surveillance Type Drive as it can cause errors if its a normal PC drive that cannot handle the 24/7 read and write cycles that a CCTV Recorder creates.   

Thank you for the info about.

I had stopped recording to see if it was hard drive related.................don't seem to be a hard drive issue.

I think the problem may be one of the cameras.............but I am doing some individual testing to isolate and confirm the problem.

I just thought there was a exact description for the error code of 0x06.

I tried running with UPS, different UPS and no UPS for a day - no solution there.

I tried running in record all channels mode and no record and recording 4 channels - no solution there.

I log into all of the cameras - turn off maintenance on all cameras - no solution there.

I am running a WD yellow label and I will now try a surveillance HD to see if it was the TYPE of hard drive that is causing such problem.  I don't know if this particular yellow label cannot take the heavy read/write volume of the NVR.  I am running 16 x 5mp cameras at 1920x1080P.

Also, this NVR comes with two LAN ports for redundancy...........I am only currently running one, but I can set up the other and run both to see if this may help.

I connected my NVR to a Netgear 16-port gigabit switch.  Netgear-16 is connected to my Asus Router and two other Netgear switches.  My Asus router is connected to my fiber modem.  I don't think its the network as this problem was occurring before I placed the NVR on this network, but I can try to do some isolation for testing purpose.

These switches are connected to a Passive 8-port Injector that is connected to each 5MP camera and one Sunba 20X PTZ.

I only have one 6tb hard drive in the unit for testing purpose.  Yellow label WD.

Also, I will try to update the firmware and see if that will resolve the issue. 

Of course, I will try one step at a time to try to isolate the problem.  I will post my findings.

Please let me know if there is any other ideas or things I can try to fix this problem.

The rebooting is random, so its hard to pinpoint:  sometimes every two hours, sometimes every hour, sometimes every six hours.  Rebooted 7 times for last night.  rebooted only twice for today.  rebooted 4 times for the entire day the previous day.
