3iProtect 0 Posted December 16, 2011 Question: I ran Siamese 250' and powered a .65ma IR camera locally. I am getting 12+V at the camera and I can see the camera when putting it on a installer monitor. It is not showing up at the DVR 250' away. The cable is run in a conduit under the ground. I redid the connections twice. Any thoughts? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted December 16, 2011 if you get video at the camera and its powered back at the DVR end then its likely bad cable/connectors between the camera and the DVR end. and that must be 650ma right? Otherwise id love to get my hands on that magic camera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted December 16, 2011 I would bet on faulty or damaged cable as well. Obviously if you get picture on your test monitor AT the camera, power is not an issue. It's possible there's a bad input on the DVR as well. Have you tried a different input, or tried connecting the DVR end of the run to your test monitor?
