2085wayne 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Hi all, Not sure if anyone can shed a bit of light on this... I have a system at home which an installer set up (but since not around) Not sure if the cams are just analog or hd tvi. But the dvr (Alien mega 208) has now started to display all of the cams in black & White and really poor quality. All of them! Its not the monitor because i can see the dvr through my pc too. Not sure where to look first! Any help will be much appreciated..... Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which will give the problem your describe. Go into system settings and change NTSC to PAL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2085wayne 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Hi, thanks for your reply... It seems as though it is already in Pal, but doesnt allow to change anyway for some reason, although this was under 'camera setting' on the dvr menu, cannot see another setting for the dvr itself. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
