What Is Going On With My Cameras.....

[JM85 0]

Hi All

 

Looking for a little help, my camera's seem to be having no stop problems

 

Last night my front camera goes into what seems like night mode for no reason??

 

 

Then this morning the screen is all white?? then goes Black??

 

 

 

Currently it is flickering between working fine & all black

 

Could this be a wiring issue?? I have disconnected the power a few times & it seems to work OK after that but the problems return

 

This is a new Camera as the first one I had the LED's were not working on the night mode

 

Please help

Сheck the connectors on the DVR.

Most likely somewhere whiling away the central core and ground.

It is also possible problems with any voltage.

I have tried 3 different power adaptors of different Amp outputs & they all do the same

 

I took the camera down & tested it inside the house & it seemed to work fine then when I put it back up it stared to do the same again

 

I have also by-passed the power lead that runs along side the cable (RG59-2 iirc) & powdered directly to the camera with a very short lead & again it did the same

 

I have now put a different camera up & it seems OK so far so could be the camera (dome type) but I was hoping it wasn't! lol

 

The camera is in direct sunlight, could this have caused a problem with the lens??

Swapped the channels around & it seemed to do the same no matter what channel it was on

 

Not sure where to start with Central Core & Ground???

Sounds like a cabling issue.

I would suspect the BNC connections.

Also is it possible that cable is run along high voltage or something?

 

Sorry, I just re read and saw that you put another cam in and it's working ok.

That's weird. I've seen issues with the iris where it's whited out all day and then has picture at night but did you say your camera was acting up at night too?

[JM85 0]

Yeah the camera was flickering on & off through the night as well

 

Is this not the camera shot then?? (I'm hoping the Cameras OK)

Can you keep that camera hooked up inside for a matter of days or so to make sure it keeps ok?

I'm wondering if the other camera you put in its place will start to act up.

What model cameras are they? Just in case it helps, like if someone has had a similar issue with a particular camera (or the chip used)

They are Vantage Dome Camera VSCM520IR

 

The old Bullet camera I put up in its place was fine for 3 hours but had condensation in it so have swapped the lens in the Dome Camera with another faulty unit I had but had the same problem when I was putting it up

 

It seems to be when the sunlight shines onto the camera it whites out although I am just waiting for some sunlight to re-appear to test this theory

[JM85 0]

Well unfortunately the Sun didn't re-appear for me to test

 

Although when I was messing with the Focus this evening the reflection from the LED's on my hands etc caused it to black out, seems it doesn't like bright light, is that the camera knackered?

It's seem to camera intrinsic problem, which brand and model did you deploy? Is there some camera you may try to replace those one and see how it is.

 

I assume, some probable reason, one ICR isn't work properly, 2nd is LENs DC is faulty.
