jeromephone 6 Posted October 21, 2015 Are you using POE? If you are using CCA you would be in code violation in most parts of the country. Look at the numerous posts about CCA on these forums as well as other internet resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiefelyemeni 0 Posted October 21, 2015 Hi. Do you have that camera behind glass is the first question no just the camera.. and i gave all them enough amperage but still getting the effects of low power. i need to test out the ends of those long runs to see but i assumed 200ft or less is short runs and should have any issues..

How did you take that image you posted ?? You can clearly see an image of someone .... So if not behind glass then your other problem is ghosting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiefelyemeni 0 Posted October 23, 2015 What is it that makes you think you should be getting a better picture ? the other outdoor cameras get better picture but this one is the farthest run.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you take that image you posted ?? You can clearly see an image of someone .... So if not behind glass then your other problem is ghosting. its a snapshot of the mobile app live view.. and its the same as if you were to see it on the monitor.. i did the voltage calulator and if thats true im getting way to low voltage on a 180ft run using CCA garbage lol im going to power it closer to the camera and hopefully that resolves the issue.. Qustion though how is that the lower Amps go longer distance than higher amps? you think if i lower the Amps it will get the voltage to the cameras? but then its lower amps and the camera needs at least 700-1000MA?

What are the effects of low power as you see it? as soon as the irs kicked in the 6-10 cameras went ****ty.. even during the day you can see light vertical lines or just a little blurry pic.. but the closer ones to the dvr have a nice picture..
