i have a floureon 4 channel system, it came with 2 cameras i believe they are tvl 1500. the first camera failed after about 2 weeks and i replaced it. now the second camera has failed after just over a month. i have included a pic showing what i can see
can anyone help me identify why the cameras failed so quickly
Thanks for the advice on the cameras I was wondering about the 2mp ones as they are only slightly more expensive. Before I get the more expensive cams I was hoping to identify what might be causing them to fail incase it's an environmental issue as I dont want to be replacing cams all the time. As I said in my previous post tho I'm hopeful this was just a bad batch of cams. Unfortunately the system was purchased over a year ago and had been sat on a shelf until a recent bout of vandalism prompted me to get it setup, so my only option was to purchase new cams as returning is no longer possible
I didnt try changing the format as the camera had until yesterday been working. It's been working perfectly for almost 5 weeks before it started to flicker and show up with that image. Its powered by the 4 way power plug that came with the unit. It's on a 20 meter cable. I have tried having just one camera plugged in to see if the power supply was insufficient with no change. I replaced the first camera about 3 days ago and so far that one is working perfectly. I have ordered another camera as hopefully I was just unlucky and maybe had 2 cams from a bad batch.
the camera is an ahd 1500TVL and it flickers between a garbled image as shown and a normal image. the problem seems worst in the daytime so i was wondering if the image sensors could be faulty of have burned out?
