The picture is fine when IR lights are off but when the room goes dark the screen for these cameras go all white. This is a series of pictures showing as the lights are going out what happens with the cameras image. Any suggestions? I purchased these from ebay and I don't seem to be getting much help from the seller, seems they don't understand English very well either (or computers).

PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Be sure you have the correct power pack on the cams & the correct power pack on the DVR. I have a Zmodo and they looked very close but one was 3a & one was 5a. Are you running on the factory BNC/Power cables it came with? Are you using cat5 cable? If so, what baluns & what length of runs? Zmodo's are great, you will be VERY happy for the money spent. I'm a noob compared to some of these pro's, but know the Zmodo rather well so also PM me if any questions arise as to set-up & networking & the motion alarm settings < gru-ha-ha < you're gonna love it!

PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 25, 2012 BTW, here's a shot of my netbook running the zmodo activeX control, phase 1&2. Poor shot w/ a poor cell phone, but you get the idea. Our hill is installing 4 of these DVRs on 4 properties. Covering 9 properties & several dedicated road cam/ plate loggers, after all phases completed by spring the hill will have 37 cameras. & I've only ever installed 1 other dvr before lol! Everyone is paying for their share of cameras, except the Church of course. We are helping the install for each other in trade for access to each others road cams. Sad thing is we are outside of the city limits. So, in the long run, you may hear some bash the analogs dvrs, but in the end you can cover a ton more ground for the cost of a higher end unit. The nice thing is those that bash the analogs, still help you figure them out! Thanks Guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
