I've hooked 2 of the cameras up. One of them does not show color. All settings are the default. Why can't I see color ?

I would suggest that you finish installing all 4 camera's and see what you got then. Check the connections. If there is not enough light it will appear B&W otherwise it should be in color

Only time I've seen black and white pictures on mine is when gets dark I think it's in night mode or low light mode

I asked pretty much the same question, but I don't have a definitive answer. Zmodo said hold your hand over the lense for about 10 seconds and it should appear in color.

When I use the digital blue software the picture in normal, not blue. The border is blue. Do the top and bottom lights work?There are other web cam programs that work. Maybe try Manycam

This camera does display color; I just went and doubled-checked the one that I previously purchased.

There are 2 buttons located on the upper outside edges of the cameras that provide 3 settings. 1. IR ON 2. IR OFF ,3. IR AUTO . If not all of the positions work it's just a minor switch defect . Send it back for a replacement. The two buttons on the front are for On/Off and Camera Selection. Hope that helps.

yellow is female camera video hookup; red is male sound hookup; black is to power pack. if you have a different setup, you can buy adapters.I don't know your camera connections, but the above are the wiring connections. I hope this answers your question. regards. if you're not sure ask another q. and i'll try to help if I can.

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.

You may have a bad cable. Disconnect power lead for 10 seconds and reconnect. Are other camera's working properly? It could also be the camera. If you can try connecting another camera and see if it does the same thing.

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

The large LEDs do use twice the current as most cameras. It does sound like a power supply issue / voltage problem at the camera. any way to see if you are getting 12volts at the camera in black & white mode? Agree with Sam on bigger powersupply & cable. I soldered my connections.

I believe both lights go green. The set up has 2 channels, and if you are not on the same channel for both bits, then one light will remain red. There is a switch on both bits I think. I have not used mine in several months, but I do remember there were 2 channels, and that if they were on different ones you would not get two green lights. One other issue is I had to get an RCA stereo microphone adapter for my camera... that could also be a problem.

Make sure the power supply is connected to each camera. This should be near the receiver (the main box).

Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

Odd that it happened on 2 camera's at same time. This happened to one of my camera's. Pull power out from the back of the unit and wait about 30 seconds. then plug back in.If it still it not working, Check your Iris setting make sure it's open. Final option before considering bad is reset the whole system back to default settings.This may fix problem. Any IP setting you have will be lost. so it will need to bereprogrammed good luck JW

In addition to the above answers, make sure the light that has the "master" switch plug is on and is closet to you. I had issues until I figured that out, the device on the camera appears to send the signal to that one and then to the other light.

I no longer have the device, but I seem to remember that you had to set a menu item or switch. You have an option to use the screen or the view finder. Also, see that it is properly connected to camera body.

When there is adequate light you will see color. In the dark when it has to rely on IR video will appear to be in monochrome.This is the same behavior you will see from any color camera with IR.
