Quick answer
A beeping recorder often reports a hard disk exception, no disk, or a full disk. Check the HDD status in the menu (normal, uninitialised or error), reseat cables with the recorder switched off, and format or replace the disk if it is faulty. Fit a surveillance-grade disk and keep the recorder on a UPS.
