Hi Guys My first time on here so please excuse. Ok, I have recently installed an 8 camera system on a property. 4 x internal IR domes working fine day & night. 3 out of 4 External IR cameras working fine. Issue: 1 of my external IR cameras is fine during the day but as soon as night kicks in the image on the monitor turns completley white! I have removed the camera and plugged it into the DVR directly to elliminate any possible cable faults and the camera works fine in light and in dark. This made me think that the siammese cable was an issue but the camera works fine during the day so proving that there is video and power present during the day. The camera is the second one I have had due to the initial one causing the same issue. Why am I getting 'night vision' whilst being directly plugged into the DVR yet not getting 'Night vision' at the end of my cables??? I have looked at light sources shining directly into the camera and other things but all I get is a white screen. HELP!!! Rif

No obvious bright lights.near by either.

I have 2 cameras mounted and installed at the back of the property. They are facing eachother from a bit of a distance but not directly looking into eachothers lenses. One of the cameras is fine yet the one in question is having these issues. Will I have to relocate this problematic camera?

Will post a picture as soon as. If it seems to be a crappy camera then why does it have no issues in the dark when directly connected to the dvr yet produces a white screen when connected outside at the end of the coax cable? Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Please continue to do so while I try and provide a snapshot of the image. Cheers
