G'day guys.. Just recently got my hands on a KOBI camera (K-32CE-2P / cam95) although am having problems witht the power run. The total distance is about 18m, using 12AWG cable for the power and RG59 for the video. Firstly, if I use 12V DC I can get a clean colour image at the camera. Although, when I run 24V AC I can't get the power light on, so wondering if there is a switch somewhere, or the camera recognises and switches to 'AC mode'??.. So I've opted to use 12V for the time being, that is all fine. Secondly, I get a clean colour image at the camera, although when I test the picture out with the RG59 extension, I get it in B&W.. There are two BNC video outputs at the back of the camera. One labelled Monitor and the other Video. Do both those outputs pump out the same power or am I better using one of them? Thanks, Peter.

sorry, I read the reply wrong. I'll try running another video and power cable tomorrow. Still worried about my power supply issue if i'm giving it 24vac 1amp and still not getting any image come thru.

That was my original worry with the power. There are no dip switches that change between 12vdc or 24vac... Both seem to go into the same screw terminals at the back. Do I ground the power cable or make a junction and ground part of the video cable? Pete,

Thanks for the reply mate. I went to my local tech store and plugged it into their system and it was fine. We both came to the conclusion that the power supply that I was using was faulty. Brought a new supply and all seems alright. Thanks for the idea though Peter.

G'day guys, I've just pulled out an old camera after it's been laying dormant for quite some time. I plugged it in to see how she's still going and now she has all these verticle lines running thru the monitor. It's definately not the verticle hold on the monitor, so I'm coming to the conclusion that there might be something wrong with the lens as I can constantly hear the iris moving even when the camera is stationary under non-changing lighting conditions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Peter.
