Floureon CCTV home system power supply issues

[the_italian 0]

Hi, and thanks in advance for any help.

 

I have a Floureon h.264, 8 channel CCTV system installed around the garden of my house which I installed myself. It has 8 cameras, also from Floureon (1000TVL IR cameras). It was running without issues for 2 years.

 

Unfortunately a few weeks ago one of the cameras IR capabilities began to fail during nighttime, however the camera would work fine during the day. Due to this, I disconnected this camera and ran with 7 cameras and ordered a new camera.

 

Whilst waiting for the new camera to arrive I noticed that the 7 remaining cameras were flickering, weird bars would roll across the screen, and in general they were not performing too well. Concerned that they might become damaged with whatever was causing them to flicker, I turned off the whole system and waited for the new camera to arrive.

 

The new camera arrived, I installed it, plugged it in, turned on the system and now there are no cameras working at all.

 

I wasn't sure where the issue was so I bought a new power supply unit with the exact same spec as the one that initially worked, however this has since arrived and the whole system still isn't working.

 

The Floureon HDR 'unit' still powers up, I can still access all the recorded videos and screenshots from when it was working, so the unit itself seems to work fine. I changed plug sockets incase there was an issue there, however I just can't seem to get any of the cameras to power up at all now that I've plugged the system back together.

 

Power supply that was used initially when it was all working was

 

Input:100-240v AC, 50/60Hz, Output: DC12V-2000mA.

 

This was linked to the cameras with a '8 camera splitter', so the one plug powered all 8 cameras.

 

Anyone able to help before I have to get someone in to fix it for me?

 

I can post screenshots of the 'flickering and bars' that appeared on the cameras prior to them being switched off if that helps.

 

Many thanks.

Check power supply voltage on camera side while connected (load condition).

I wonder how it worked before. Small IR camera usually takes 300-400 mA which is 2100 - 2800 mA total for 7 cameras !

If you change power supply adapter, take some more powerful, 5000 mA.

Hi. Did you use the cable kit that comes with the floureon system ??

And what is the camera distance from power supply

Are you using a splitter cable as such? Make sure this isn't damaged or change it out for a new one just in case, else connect up only one camera to the box and power it using the power supply to see if one appears if it does I would said the splitter is damaged or the power supply isn't powerful enough to do all 8 cameras at once.
