Has anyone ever had the camera just go to a white screen. Not be able to do anything with it, except turn it off and on? Had it for less than 2 years.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

It must be defective because mine works all of the time. Since I have had the camera I only had one incident. I unplugged the camera and restarted it and have never had another problem.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

One possibility could be the battery. If it was not charged for 2 years, there's a good chance that it might me dead. Try to connect your camera to external power, i.e. charger and try to turn it on. If it all goes OK, then it is the battery. If it doesn't turn on, then the problem is somewhere else -> go to technician.

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

our camera dies ALL the time! we have to unscrew the battery compartment, take them out, then put them back in, to have it come back to life. It seems to be happening more and more. I plan on contacting customer service about the issue.

I dropped my older S8200 camera Christmas day and just purchased another one because I loved this camera so much. I used my camera every week for 2 years. Never did I have this problem. I never had any iissues.I would contact Nikon about the problem and see if they will replace your camera, or at least repair it if it's a warranty issue.

Hi, Please contact the seller via Amazon. I also had problems. I was in contact with the seller 2 or 3 times . They were super nice and walked me through all my problems. Also sent me new manual.My camera works super. I use it on WiFi and also broadcast on the internet in 720P. The noise your camera makes is not normal. Mind is very quite. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. Good Luck.

This is a pretty embarrassing story. About 6 months ago the screen went black. I took it to a store. I was going to get a new one. At the shop, it slipped out of my hands and it clattered onto the glass counter top! I turned it on and there was the screen working again! It has been working ever since! I love this camera. Weird, huh?

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.
