paddler1000 0 Posted January 17, 2010 Can anyone tell me what causes this effect? It takes up about 1/5 of the screen across the bottom on all 6 of my cameras on a dvr. I see this locally as well as remotely. The colors in the band seem to be related to the brightness of the scene in the cameras view. Bright outdoor pics have multi colored while darker indoor pictures have a dark band with a few colored pixels here and there. any help appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPCAMERAMAN 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Are these IP cameras or Analog? I have seen this with ip cameras before and usually doing firmware upgrade will fix issue. If analog cameras then your only option is to upgrade firmware for Standalone DVR otherwise it means that the capture card device is going bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vin2install 0 Posted January 19, 2010 Use a test monitor at the DVR. IF it shows up on the test monitor than its your cameras, wire or connections. If it doesnt show up then its your DVR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Could be three things. 1/ Set to wrong video standard ...ntsc vs pal 2/ dying capture card - more likely hint bridge controller on the card 3/ hardware overlay issue with the video card. using a test monitor is sound advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cctv_down_under 0 Posted January 21, 2010 ??????? A service/test montior is a small screen with AV input - it lets you test a camera before it gets to the DVR this way you can see if the DVR is causing the issue.....just use a telly and a coax to rca adapter if you like?
