I see where you say it may be an issue with the cameras at night getting enough power this may be why only one of my cameras work at night, but in the day time only two of them will work but I have to plug them one at a time. I have four cameras they all work but like I say only two at a time when I plug in an additional camera everything says no video. I have a 4 camera laview dvr system. Any idea whats going on with this? Thanks
@BackstreetCameras Жыл бұрын
It sounds like an IP address conflict or lack of processing power. Try plugging only one camera in at a time and let the system stabilize. Then add one more camera to the system. If all works, then add a third. If any camera causes the problem when you plug it in, leave that camera to the side and try another. If it happens with the other camera its likely the NVR and its ability to process data. You may have to reduce the frames per second in the NVR or reduce the bit rate on all the cameras so the unit can handle the data workload. Its getting a bit technical now so you may want to contact the dealer you purchased from for support. Hope this helps.

Hello, great video! I have a 4 camera setup and just recently, 1 camera stopped connecting. When I try and troubleshoot the problem, it shows the camera is offline. After trying several times to reconnect, nothing happens. Then I tried a different camera that I had and still nothing. My system is a brand called Akaso. Even trying to connect it wired, it still will not recognize either one. The other cameras are fine. Crazy situation. The setup is just over 2 years old. Could the box be failing now? I ask because now something is putting my monitor to sleep as well. Not sure why, nothing changed. Thank you!
@BackstreetCameras5 жыл бұрын
Sounds like it could be your video recorder. Have you tried using different inputs on the video recorder? It might be that just one port on the unit is failing. We are not familiar with the Akaso brand so our suggestions are limited to the basics. I would try a camera that does work on the input that does not work. If the camera works on that input, then its the bad camera to blame. If the good camera does not work on the input then its the input on the video recorder. Hope this helps.

@BackstreetCameras2 жыл бұрын
It might be your monitor or a setting in the video recorder. If the monitor has a max resolution of 960N then that's the limiting factor for the entire system. For example, if you have a 4K camera you need a 4K video recorder and 4K monitor to view 4K. If the camera is 4K and the recorder is 4K but the monitor is 1080p...all you will see is 1080p resolution even though the recorder is recording in 4k. Hope this helps.

Then I asked support if all I had to do was buy a new DVR from them and I was told that I'd have to buy a whole new set of cameras because my cameras aren't supported in the newer DVR models, I want to know if this is true because my current cameras are 1080p and are COAX, which is the same thing that the newer DVR supports. Now I don't know whether support is trying to milk me of my money or are just being honest. I also asked support if I'd have to go through the stress of rewiring all the cameras and was told no, all that mattered was that I upgrade all of my cameras and DVR. Thanks

@BackstreetCameras4 жыл бұрын
It could be three possibilities - monitor is not compatible, software bug or a bad camera signal. 1. Try another monitor, its possible (if its an older monitor) the signal format (with multiple cameras displayed) is not compatible with the monitors supported formats. The video recorder senses this and resets to the single camera view. 2. Bad camera signal - disconnect all but two cameras from the video recorder, try the multiplexed view (both cameras displayed on the screen). If the problem continues, disconnect the two cameras and connect two others. If the problem stops its a bad camera signal (one of the first two cameras is feeding a bad data signal into the system causing the problem). If the problem continues its likely a software bug. When the system switches to a multiplexed view data streams are running into an incompatibility issue causing the system to reset the video feed to a single camera. Hope this helps.

Step 1 would be to isolate each camera. First plug each camera into the power supply individually (one at a time) and verify each camera is operational when only one camera is attached to the power supply. Next if all the cameras test good, plug two cameras into the power supply and see if the two cameras work or not. If not, the power supply is likely damaged and cannot power multiple cameras. If it works continue to plug one more camera in at a time until the cameras stop working. The last item plugged in is likely the problem or the power supply might be damaged and not putting enough power out to power all 4 cameras. Hope this helps.

Night Owl is known for similar issues. Its possibly the power supply. From your description its possible the cameras are under powered causing them to reset. Try removing one camera from the system and then let it run. See if the issues persist. If it does then remove another camera from the system. If the issues stops then its either the power supply does not have enough power for all the cameras, or you have a bad camera causing the system to reboot etc. Hope this helps.

Its likely the night vision system. Its trying to automatically adjust to the light levels as it sees it. Try adjusting the cameras view slightly by aiming to the left or right. Its possible the night vision infrared light is bouncing off something close to the camera causing the camera to constantly readjust. Aiming the camera in a different areas and seeing of the problem continues may be the way to verify if this theory is correct. Hope this helps.

On low-end cameras the IR LEDs burnout within a year or two. I'm guessing the cameras are 2+ years old and an off brand..? Consumer grade cameras have a tendency for this to happen. Nothing you can do but replace the camera. We recommend professional brand cameras, their LED will last 10 years or more.

@BackstreetCameras5 жыл бұрын
HI Maria, I've seen this before. Possible causes are: The power supply is not providing the power draw needed to operate properly. Power supplies can and do degrade over time. Its possible a power bump or just the age of the power supply has reduced its ability to provide the required minimum power draw. This causes the camera to constantly reset itself and run through the start up process causing the camera to do the movements described. The second option is simply the electronics have gone bad. I would check and replace the power supply. If the problem persists the camera should be sent in for electronics repair or replacement. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Hi Darrell, If the connections are solid and the cable has been checked, I would consider other environmental possibilities. For example: Does this happen at night? Could be the power supply for the cameras is aging and when the night vision system turns on the power draw is too much and shuts down the camera. Just one possibility. Are there other devices on the power circuit that may turn on cause a power bump or drop. Does it happen in bad weather? Could be the elements. Try and think about all the things that could effect the camera. And definitely make sure the connections are protected from moisture. Hope this helps.

The troubleshooting rules apply, but it sounds like the power supply might not be able to power all the cameras when the night vision systems on the cameras turn on. Try removing one or two cameras from the power supply and see if the problems still occurs or if they go away. If the problem is gone try adding one camera back onto the power supply and again monitor it to see if the problem starts up again. If not add the last camera and check again. If removing a couple of cameras fixes the issue, then add another power supply for just those two cameras. This isolates the cameras and provides more power per camera. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. My first guess is POWER. If the cameras are sharing the sample power supply or power outlet I would start looking there. One possibility is when the night vision systems on the cameras turn on the power consumption rises above the maximum power that can be delivered to the cameras. When this occurs you will see strange things like cameras going in and out. Basically each camera is not getting the minimum required power to operate reliably, so they start doing strange things like going on and off line randomly. So first I would monitor the time of day when this is occurring and see if there is a correlation with the night vision systems turning on and the problems occurring. Hope this helps. Keep us posted on what you find. Thanks
