I have a bizarre situation on my 8 channel Swann system. I have 6 cameras hooked up, all was working fine, then one morning two of the signals say video loss, but not on a black screen as usual, is says video loss over top of a live black and white (like its in night mode) feed, I can see the feed is live, but its black and white now with the video loss message over top, plus those 2 cameras are now no longer recording the feed to the dvr but the other four still are. Tried searching but found only black screen video loss references ... Any ideas would help, tried rebooting system but didn't help ..

No, cable runs are all about the same, but those 2 cameras have been working fine for about 6 months, then one morning both started with the strange symptoms ...

Same power supply?... sort of but not really, the cameras do not have individual power supplys, each cameras power is cable fed by main power from dvr.

I have a swann ADS-440 IP camera I would like to use a public live view/stream webcam, the glitch I am having is creating a link that takes the user directly to the video stream without having to login... I talked to Swann support with no luck, as they repeatedly told me it is not possible to even build a link to auto login .. that I know is not correct as I was able to do it for a snapshot from the camera .. see below .. http://mulligans.swanndvr.net:85/snapshot.cgi?user=guest&pwd=guest Whenever I try anything video related instead of showing a live stream in starts to download the feed instead of displaying it.. Some of the formats I've tried are .. http://IPADDRESS/videostream.cgi?usr=[uSERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD] http://IPADDRESS/videostream.asf?usr=[uSERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD] .. but no live feed , any ideas would be great, it can be tested using guest/guest as user pass at http://mulligans.swanndvr.net:85
