matht4 0 Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Guys, I have been reading thriug the posts but nothing quite fits my problem, This is my first time posting so hopefully somebody can give me some help. I have just purchased a 4 camera colour CCTV system with 100gb hard drive. The software was pre installed so essentially it was plug and play. I have all the cameras in place and connected, with the image running to a LCD tv mounted on the wall, this is via BNC to the yellow connection in the tv. the camera system is below http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FULL-CCTV-Security-System-KIT-outdoor-Colour-Cameras-UK-/290500617883?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item895f3f61f9#ht_3782wt_782 I can recieve a picture but it is heavily distorted and switching between black and white and colour. I have checked that the camera cables are running nowhere near any electrical cables and insured that there was no visible damage to them. I am really at my wits end now as I don't know what else to check. I have tried trying to run it to my PC monitor via VGA and I still get the same distorted image. The image is un watchable and just bounces on the display screen.. Could it be a faulty DVR ? any help or advice would be much appreciated. !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SAJEEL 0 Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, If your tv is bnc, plug each camera into tv and test, could be faulty dvr, but that would eliminate dvr / wiring, sounds like wiring problem too me, did you buy pre made co-ax or make your own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keeps 0 Posted March 1, 2011 I would look at the power supply perhaps - 2 amps to run the DVR and 4 infrared cameras may be the issue... Any change if you disconnect 3 of the cameras leaving only the DVR and 1 camera drawing power? If the cameras draw a max of 350mA when in infrared mode then that would take 1.4amps, leaving only 600mA for the DVR.... Has your ebay seller been of any help? Have you phoned them?
