SambaNoodles 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Hi. I have some 6 year old mini-dome mintron cameras which I've tried plugging into a GeoVision DVR. The output on the screen is EXTREMELY grainy-noisy, to the point where the video is completely useless. However, I take the same camera and plug it directly into my $20 old black&white analog T.V, and the video is crystal clear. Now, if I use any *new* mini-dome camera, the video output on either DVR or T.V are BOTH perfectly fine. When connecting to either the T.V or DVR I go through the same RG59 cable, so that is not the issue here. What's the deal? Do the analog T.V's do a much better job of filtering out noise than the DVR capture cards do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted November 23, 2009 Could you provide photos of how this "noise" looks onscreen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SambaNoodles 0 Posted November 23, 2009 Yikes! That looks like the camera is failing...?? That's what I thought originally. But like I mentioned before, when I plug into my portable B/W television (using the same rg59 cable) the video is perfect. What's up with that? Also, keep in mind that these cameras are about 6 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
