I installed a security camera for a friend, I have installed 4 cameras at my cabin without issue...the system ran fine last week for 1 hur then the image went stupid, today I replaced the computer and again after an hour its screwy...have a look at the live image tonight and if any ideas are around to fix it let me know, my thoughts are a cable 75 ft long is too long and it started at tnight so when the infared lit up it sapped up what little power made it to the camera? http://50.92.198.124:8181/multi.html

I duplicated the issue at hand , I found it was definatly the cable length and power drop over that distance, I find a 40 ft cable will give me a good picture day and night,much longer and the night scene gets much worse....

I have always used a 1 amp but that is what I was showed to use when a freind did mine years ago, now I see ones with 5amp 12 v, I will get it if they do not damage the camera? I assume not because they are for cctv camera http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Port-12V-5A-DC-Power-Adapter-for-IR-Security-Cameras-Zmodo-CCTV-SecurityDVR-/281578095208?hash=item418f5cc268:g:CoAAAOxyBjBTQ5XH

The camera is working fine in the daylight now, I ran a test on the lines yesterday and they seemed fine, the camera is cheap as I am doing this for nothing for them, I will be getting a better camera for them, the ps has been changed several times as I bought 6 of them new with a 12v 1 amp rating....all seemed to have the same effect,possibly its the camera
