My 4 camera residential CCTV system as gone a little strange all of a sudden, 3 of the 4 cameras appear to have gone white balance for some reason, I did notice they went through a strange colour change prior to this one went with a red hue one with blue hue, what causes this please and is it curable?

Thanks for all the time you all spent trying to solve it, lets hope it stays good, otherwise back to the forum " title="Applause" />

Update to what I did last night after resetting to factory settings the DVR I unplugged each camera feed power supply one by one and left for roughly 10 seconds then reconnected them, I could see an improvement in the picture quality straight away, left overnight until daylight and they stayed on with fairly good picture quality still, not sure what the issue was or is but have you ever heard of cameras having to be rebooted so to speak? Attached picture of monitors today.

I have already done a factory reset on the DVR moved all cameras around 3-2 4-1 etc but still when daylight comes to them they go white? night time goes back to being OK.

Interesting thing I notice today, cameras are OK ish at night time but as day light comes they go white, likewise as dusk comes they go back to operating lol, work that one out as the pictures show below.

Pictures of monitor taken this morning after moving cables around last night, shows how bad the cameras are during daylight now, also views of DVR but as thought no info available anywhere on box.

The whiteness seems to occur at approx 8.45 ish in the mornings and last most of the day? the cameras have been fine for over a year as I said so just a little puzzled why now, i'll change cables around later to see if just the three out door cameras do this, whats a cheap brand of camera that gives better return of picture with IR's built in like these.

Will post pictures of the actual DVR shortly.

Cannot find any thing apart from version 2.4.4. in device info but have attached screenshot, also screenshot of how it is now, three cameras nearly back to normal, but some have a curious red tint to them. 3 cameras are outside and at some point of the day may have sun shine on them but not constant. The cameras I cannot find any model number etc and they look pretty generic, picture attached also, any help as stated before would be greatly appreciated. How do you attach pictures to this post please btw?

Hi thanks for the answer, must be noted that I am not totally tech minded but did manage to install the CCTV system myself, have been and got the packaging which the system came in which hopefully will answer what you require to know it's H264 stand alone system I bought from China with 4 cameras (just standard) with infra red lights built in, I installed a 1 tb hard drive into system myself it as worked well for over a year but suddenly began to get brighter on 3 of the 4 cameras, point me in the right direction of where to look in the menu of the system and I will try to get the information that you require to try to help me.
