Firstly let me apologise if Ive posted this in the wrong category! Need some advice with a CCTV system that I bought from Maplins (ok,ok you can stop laughing now!). 250gb DVR with 4 cameras - All working fine , apart from one problem... The colours are all wrong! , Grass is showing as purple , and the driveway is currently a dull green! . The actual image quality is good and workable , but the colour is like something out of a 1960's festival! Tried swapping the camera , same problem. Its BNC into the back of the DVR , and the output is currently BNC to scart adapter into a LED TV. (Tried it on another TV with the same issue.) Thanks in advance for any help folks! Jim

Morning , Thanks for that last post . I spoke to an electrical engineer at work and he has suggested that it may be a power supply problem. All four cameras have the same colour issues - so cant imagine that they are all faulty!?

Thanks for the reply .. here's what I have tried so far : Tried another TV for both live view and playback of recorded , same issues , colours all wrong. Swapped the scart adapter , currently the route is bnc to phono into scart adapter. Also tried phono straight into yellow video input - same results. Tried swapping cameras , same problem. Used a camera indoors under natural lights - my skin appeared blue , and blacks appeared pink! Interesting thing is , early morning the colours appear correct - after about 9am it all goes down hill again. Ive included a few more stills , just to give a better idea. As you can see form this one - the car appears green , its actually light blue! And the brickwork is blue! And in this one, my nice blue grass!. Any more ideas guys? Jim

Yeah , there's settings on the tv - quite detailed , but dont know of they are going to make any difference. Just out of interest , here's a screen shot - as you can see , some of the image is ok - but the tree and grass are a nice shade of pink! , also black tends to look pink!

Agree , however I had a maplins wireless camera before this kit, located in the same position - and that was fine. Wondering if its anything to do with white balance or something like that ?
