Hi guys. very very new to cctv but been playing around with some equipment and today decided to take the plunge and install my own CCTV at home, what with all the recent breakins in my area. So here's the problem i'm having, I have installed one camera so far today and using a portable cctv tester I powered on the camera and got a crystal clear picture so I went ahead and ran the cables through to the DVR.
Heres where it gets wierd. I cannot for the life of me get a picture up on the channel. It is just distorted, but if i plug the cables into my tester, everything is fine.
Has anyone experienced this before and can shed some light on what is wrong please. would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Maxxxin
Just to add, the DVR is an ISECPRO IP-7216V PAL 16 channel H.264 DVR
