Floureon with 720 cameras

[Kelly3533 0]

I'm not sure if I'm at the right place but My father has a floureon cctv box with 4,720 cameras. On Saturday the picture went on the screen but it still shows the 4 boxes with the time and date and in the middle of each box it says ( AHD- MR (720) but has no picture. I have surfed the internet but can't find my dads box to watch a video. There's no serial number on the box so not sure what type of box it is. We were advised to replace the power which we did and we changed the hdmi but still the same. Could someone please help me or point me in the right direction as to the problem

Hi. Which power did you change … dvr or camera power (you should have more than one power)

your image shows camera power loss

Changed the AC adaptor power supply

Went from a 12v 3.0 to a 12v 5.0 but was told that's fine

Hi your system should have two power supplies 

one that plugs direct into recorder and another one just to power the cameras …. Do you know we’re that one is

I have took a picture of the back of the box. Can you please let me know what 2 power cables you mean please. Thank you so much for this help 🙏

Hi is this a shop or office space ?

we’re are you located ?

your pictures still don’t show power supply for cameras …. If you follow the yellow camera leads they should take you to a power supply (red plug)

Hi Tom, no this is my dads home, he has a suspended ceiling and keeps the box on top of the ceiling tiles. We are located in Bristol. I'll call my dad now and get him to take a look and I'll get back to you.

Hi again Tom. Unfortunately I'm not at my parents house at the moment to be able to follow the cable but I asked my dad for a better picture of the back of the box to see if that helps you to let me know what cable it is 🙏 Thanks for you patients Tom 🙏 my parents are going to there caravan on Friday and so I'm trying to sort it for them before they leave so they don't worry while there away. My dads nearly 80 so asking him to get up a ladder to look for the plug scare me 🤣🤣

Also he said the 4 yellow camera leads go straight to the cameras outside. There's not another box or power supply 

[Kelly3533 0]

The 4 cameras outside connect to a jack plug then then the 4 yellow plugs on the picture connects to the jack plug

Hope this helps Tom 🙏

This is one of the cameras outside

Hi. Can you take a picture of the power supply we’re the black end leads go into red in your picture 

 

[Kelly3533 0]

There isn't one, we got the cameras that shows in the latest picture that goes into the jack leads then 4 leads that go into the back of the floureon box (yellow leads shown in the picture) x

Also in one of your screen images in your first post it shows ahd in the centre… your camera picture only shows standard analog

 

on your monitor screen you need to change format …. Do this….. on monitor screen next to cam number (bottom left) on every camera press the little white square with your mouse

each time you press wait a few seconds on each push of square … it should change ahd to tvi to cvi to cvb …… see if any image starts to show

Ok I'll do that now Tom. Thanks  brb 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🙏

Hi Tom when we do this.. it flickers from cam1 cam2 cam3 and cam4 and just keeps doing that over and over again

[tomcctv 190]

Can you post a picture of power supply connected

your picture showing the red plugs this is the power for the cameras so must be going to a power supply 

[Kelly3533 0]

This is the only power supply that's used for the set up

[tomcctv 190]

Ok what is that power supply plugged into

does it go direct into dvr or into pigtails

[Kelly3533 0]

Ac dc adaptor

[Kelly3533 0]

Direct to the dvr

Then that is your problem 

 

it sounds like who ever installed your system cut corners …. A bad corner at that

all analog systems must have two power supplies one that should power dvr only and another to power cameras only

but it looks like your installer cut corners and only used the one that came with the dvr and split the power between dvr and cameras which is not good

a quick test is to go outside now (as it’s dark) and see if the cameras glow red

(They won’t be)
