Cables were my first thought ..... have swapped what I could, 2 cables are brand new ..... the longest is about 15m Unfortunatley I think it is the DVR that is faulty, I have a couple of things to try then might call it a day & look for a newer model Thanks again S.

Thanks for the comments Scorpion ! With regards to your answers, the powerboard for the DVR & 2 cameras is on the same one but has other items connected such as a lamp etc so I dont think it is a power supply problem plus another camera is remote and plugged into a completely seperate power source. The DVR is in a loft area so I accept the conditions might not be perfect my theory is kept running it would generate its own heat to "keep warm" I accept your comments though but add the problem occurs within 5 - 30 mins of running the system so the temp difference is probably not great. Would the length of a co-ax cable connection make a difference to video loss perhaps ? I have about a 20m length, 15m length, & 10m lengths, as I say, when running the image quality is very good ... Thanks again for your input.

Well - managed to narrow problem 1 down. When the system looses camera 1's signal - the whole lot goes as you must have cameras 1 working all the time ..... but .... Why does Camera 1 keep loosing signal ??? I have changed over cameras - still the same, changed settings - still the same - the system keeps loosing the signal for no apparent reasons ? When it runs, the picture is excellent & records okay ?? H E L P !

Hi Guys, looking for some help ! I have an Everfocus EDR1600 system and am having a few problems with it. I appreciate this system is a few years old but any help you could provide would be most welcome. 1. Leaving the system running continuously (as you would !) the monitor screen images appear as a blue screen. In other words - all the surrounding icons etc appear fine but the actual camera monitor individual screens turn blue after a period of time (which I cant work out what the time is !) Playback works fine & the images appear - but on 'live view - just the blue screen unless I reset the system then all works fine until the 'set time when it goes blue again ???? 2. The system has a LAN card - can this be connected to a router for simple access using the IP address or is there seperate software required for the PC ? 3. Still with 2. - can the LAN card be changed for a wireless free LAN card ? Thank you for your help guys ...
