Depends on how much your willing to spend... if stick with the well known brands such as Samsung, hikvision, LG, Avigilon, mobotix..... just to name a few. but if you want real quality, I recommend 'Dallmeier'

Check your DVR settings...

Does the picture change at all at night time? Looks like it might be stuck on night mode, ie. black & white with IR.

I'd steer towards the Samsung out of those options....

Great! Just one tip...DO NOT go for the cheap junk! Stick to the quality brands....for trouble free use! Cheers...

ooookkkkk..... i'll see how we go. I will do some research going by your suggestions! cheers.

Yes they are all correct as it was working once before...!

I've plugged both the cameras into a different DVR and they both work well!! so does this mean the DVR is stuffed?

To cut a long story short, here is the problem: -Analogue PTZ camera stopped working, blacked out! -replaced power supply, checked cabling, still dead! -plugged in a standard bullet camera...and worked fine! -figured PTZ must of failed, so i bought a new one! -plugged it in.... and.... dead! -plugged it directly into DVR via temporary cable...still dead! suggestions please....

Have changed the video pair and, amazing, it works! " title="Applause" />

Thanks. I've powered the camera up from the front gate 5m away, and it powers up the cam ok, but the screen is completely black!

Hello, what is the max distance for cat5 to run analogue cams? I have a camera at the front gate which is about 140m from the DVR & pwr supply, using 2 pairs for 12v and 1 pair for video. recently it started flashing white at nite time only and has slowly over the weeks has gone completely kaput! I removed the cam and plugged it directly into the DVR and worked fine! What should I do?!

ok will check. thanks.

i tried using a 12v plug pack direct to the camera and it was ok for a little while but it started doing it again?!
