Rebco 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Stupid question but what is a "CALL" input? And when you say MONITOR do you mean DVR monitor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scruit 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Stupid question but what is a "CALL" input? And when you say MONITOR do you mean DVR monitor? I think he means the Call OUTPUT. It will output just one channel at a time. Normally it would cycle through the cameras, or cut directly the camrea with an alarm event. The monitor output is the main display wiht the 4-split and OSD. - If you display one channel at a time (not 4-split) then does it display normally? - Can you replay the recorded video through the Call output? Does it display ok or it it corrupt? Looks like a bad unit or bad firmware. You need to call CPCam tech support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momoeverywhere 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks Scruit, i should've said call output and monitor ouput... i will try your suggestion on replaying the video, also the splits i have tried a firmware update and no change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momoeverywhere 0 Posted February 1, 2008 no go... i tried no split, still fuzzy updated firm no difference replayed video they are fuzzy i get wat the issue is??? does it look like a bad reciever??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 1, 2008 CALL must be Asian for SPOT. Single Camera Output - can sequence or single view, but not multiplexed output. Looks like a bad board, not much you can do but send it back if it is a stand alone DVR. If its PC based thats another story and might be able to fix it (eg. bad video card etc) What DVR is this? Is this only occuring on the Network, or also on the Local Video on the Monitor? CRT or VGA Monitor? CCTV or Digital Monitor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
