CCTV feed okay on TV; blank screen on PC

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I've been lurking around these forums for a while now trying to find a solution to my problem. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out with this particularly weird problem. Mods, I do not know if this is the correct forum; I apologize for any convenience.

 

I'm currently using a no-name CCTV camera (hi-focus or something) via coax TV cable to connect it to my PC based DVR.

 

The DVR card is http://www.enter-cctv.com/e_d4av.html (local distributor)

However the above card is re-branded from the original http://www.macro-video.com/en/ProductShow.asp?ArticleID=146

 

The drivers for the DVR card installed perfectly (NV660X). Device manager shows that the device is working fine.

 

When I connect the coax cable to my TV I can see the camera feed perfectly fine. However, I get a blank black screen when I connect it to the PC running the proprietary software: http://www.macro-video.com/en/download.asp?BigClassName=NV660X

 

I also tried running BlueIris's demo version but it does not show ANY device listed under the "USB, Firewire, Analog" device type. I'm guessing BlueIris does not support this particular card.

 

This is a brand new card and I do not have access to any other cameras at the moment to test the card for any faults.

 

Oh, BTW. I'm running Windows 7 - 32bit.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Regards,

Ganesh

I'm in a similar boat except I'm running a new nv920x macro card, and my cameras are RCA instead of coax

 

Same thing like I said, blank screen on PC and I know cameras are good.

 

Software installed fine, driver appeared to install fine. I would get different software but it seems rather proprietary with that mv9200 chipset

 

Do you have aim? Wanting to get this fixed tonight, maybe we can bounce ideas off each other.
