Problem

Solution

No Picture/Signal

Ensure your TV is on the correct input 
channel. Common terms of an input channel: 
INPUT, AV CHANNEL, LINE1, LINE2, AUX.

If your camera is connected to a VCR/DVR, 
ensure it is properly connected to your TV/
Monitor.

Ensure connections are properly connected.

Ensure all the camera power supply is 
plugged in.

Picture is too bright

Ensure your camera isn’t pointed directly at a 
source of light (e.g sun or spot light).

Slide the sunshade (bullet cameras only) 
forward to block excess light.

Move your camera to a different location.

Picture is too dark

If using during the day, the camera may not 
be getting enough light. Slide the sunshade 
backwards to let in more light. Check the 
brightness and contrast settings of the device 
your camera connects to (TV/Monitor/DVR).

Night Vision is not 
working

The night vision activates when light levels 
drop. The area may have too much light.

Picture is not clear

Check the camera lens for dirt, dust, 
spiderwebs. Clean the lens with a soft, clean 
cloth.

Make sure that the cable run is within the 
limitations specified in the section ' Cable 
Extension Options'

Bright spot in video 
when viewing camera 
at night

Night vision reflects when pointing a camera 
to a window. Move the camera to a different 
location.

BNC connection does 
not connect to my TV

Use a BNC to RCA adapter at the end of the 
extension cable.

Notes:
1.

For optimal performance, consider using option 2 or 3. Preference for using 
the same cable type for the entire distance.

2.

Cable run recommendation based on typical camera power consumption (up 
to 500mA). For specialty cameras with higher current consumption, 
maximum cable run may be reduced. Consider providing power to the camera 
at the camera side rather then at the end of the extension cable.

3.

Indicators that your cable run may be too long:

• Video is permanently Black & White (even during day time)
• Video is distorted

Extend the cable run for your camera up to 300ft or more 
depending on the cable type used. See table below:
