C7 in CA, do you have cable TV? Do you have High Def, and/or DVRs (cable company owned), and/or do you have "on demand" video? Just curious if you were modulating with digital signals, and/or High Def signals??

I for one have done some two story houses, and I know the pain you must have gone through!! Good Job done!!!

Yes, we will have to stop troubleshooting with live 24 AC if the box is down. I read where you tested the cameras prior to the installation. This tells me that the cameras worked "out of the box. If we can get a new power supply, and if you can hire someone to take a look at the wiring prior to turning on the power supply then you can save blowing a third power supply. If the power supply is good, but it has shut itself down for protection reasons, then we can try to eliminate the problem that is shutting down the power supply. If you cannot hire someone to take a look at the wiring then do you have a "buddy" that knows electronics that can verify that the wiring is correct? By removing the heater/fans, and trying to run only the cameras, then we can see if we are actually getting 24 AC to the enclosure. If the cameras work then we are good to go at stage "one". If we add back in to the mix the heater/fan, and everything works, then you are good to go. If the cameras go down then the heater/fan is the issue. Now we know where to look for our problems. Then again you may have a crappy power supply!!??

I am curious? Can you unplugg (cut the wires to the fan/heater)? With just the camera, and the camera only does the system work? There may be a wiring issue that we might have to find.

Now I understand! You are describing the connection inside of the enclosure. I do not see anything with how you are describing the wiring setup. Now to troubleshooting. I doubt the fan, or the heater is kicking in right now. This means only the camera is "sipping from the well". Everything should work! HMMMMM??? If your climate is cold enough to trigger the heater then it may be possible that the heater is "sipping too much from the well". OK! It is hogging the whole well. If this is the case it can "fry" the power supply. This sounds like the most likely situation. If it is too hot then trade the fan idea with the heater idea. Same results if the Fan is sipping more than it's fair share. I need the specs on the power supply, and I need to know how long the wire run is from the power supply out to the cameras.

I am sorry. I am having a hard time understanding two sets of three wires. does this mean that you have 6 conductors? If the first power supply failed, and the second power supply failed then there is def a problem. I do not know how you are wiring everything, but it sounds as if you are running each "product" with it's own set of wires. One -, and one +. (Yes I know it is AC. OK change that to one red, and one black wire). It sound like you need only two power wires. One wire for the 24 AC for the Camera, and one wire for the fan/heater at 24 volts AC. The power supplys have failed due to a short, or an AC and DC cross connection. It may be that the the wiring is allowing the voltage to go to ground. It may not be in the wiring per se, it may be that the voltage flows to a chassis ground of a product therefore "creating" a short. How are you getting your 12 volt DC from you AC power supply? How is the system wired? Can you paint me a picture? You should have a 24 AC to 12 Volt DC converter at the Domes, and the one Bullet, so that you can power the camera from the 24 volt AC source. If you are running two separate wires one for the 12 volt cameras, and one for the 24 volt AC cameras then you should also have two power supplys, or a combo type power suppy that provides both voltages, and respective AC, and DC. Note: I do not know the brand of your power supply, and I an not familiar with the specifications.

You did not mention what kind of wiring you are using. From what you posted, I get the idea that you may be using Cat 5 cable, and this is why you are "bundling" several pairs together. How close am I?

I want to check one more thing. Looking at the monitor that is connected to the DVR, look up what the port number is. Is it number 80? Let me know what this number is.

OK! This setup looks good! Now we are on a common page. Do not change any settings. I am going to think about this, and I will post back. Another question: Did the DVR come with Video Server E on a disc? The reason I ask is that some of the older DVR may have used Video Server S. I did not know if you bought the DVR new, or used?

You should be able to get that from any CCTV dealer. They come with some cameras when purchased new.
