I installed the cam but i have a question about the the red small wire connected to the yellow part is that for the power or something else?

Yes that's for the power supply (12+) and you can connect it through the back lights of the car for automatic startup of the back-up camera.

Hi, Yes the red wire does however belong to power. You can tie it into the reverse brake light. I added a separate fuse which I made accessible. I would also recommend putting little silicone around the camera when mounting to prevent water getting in.

Battery power is not very good. We bought a replacement one so now is perfect. I don't think Web cam

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.

Hi Eric, I would find a better power supply, we installed 6 of these and 3 went out in the first month, they also onlyput out about 900ma per zone, we replaced them all with 12v 2amp single transformers on a power strip!We also only had 4-5 dome IR cameras per power supply. Rich

Try using a power supply of 2000mA+. And it may be your video/power cable. Use the largest cable you can find. You may have too much resistance for the length traveled. It fixed my issue. I too thought it was the camera going bad. Its just a power hog!

I suspect your professional installer did not provide power to the constant hot (usually yellow wire) this wire must have a continuous 12 volts(not switched) look at your manual, take it back!

red is power(center hot outside not/ground)-yellow video input forradio/or backup input.

No check your power supply for 12 volts if you have a good power supply with 12 volts and still no picture check your wire connections make sure you connected the wires properly if still no pictures you have a bad camera maybe the video imaging IC is bad take it back to who you purchased it from hope this helps :)

I do not know. All I know is that when I hooked it up it said that a 3r party instuallation or something is required. So I clicked on it and they wanted $29.99 for the download to run the cam. So I put it back in the box and hope to get my money back by selling it on E bay sense the seller here want take returns.

Do you have power to camera put your figure on the sensor you can clearly see it and check if the LEDs come on if so you have power What type of wire do you have running from the camera ?

Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera. Note on powered camera, all cameras r powered wen working and the Rear view cameras DO Not supply power thru their video outputs On the stripped end of the Power line the red wire is Positive Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera.

1) Did you check to make sure you did not accidentally reverse the power/ground wires? 2) You said 18 channels - some cameras can consume a lot of power; Is your power supply adequately sized (plus some margin) to deliver power to all your cameras? To check this, I would unplug all cameras except for one. Then add in more cameras one by one. 3) Using a volt meter (and measuring resistance), did you check to make sure you do not accidentally have a short circuit somewhere? If your DVM shows 0, or something close to it, you might* have a short.

I actually got a security camera with it too, but you need to apply power to the camera, receiver (if you have one), and TV all at the same time. If you have a receiver (like I do) you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV); If you have a CAMERA ONLY you need to plug the VIDEO ONLY (usually yellow plug) into one of the white or yellow plugs (on the TV). (PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TV DOES NOT SUPPORT AUDIO) It is a bit confusing but the white and yellow (on the TV) are two separate video inputs that you can toggle between each. The RED is the power, just use a standard AC TO DC converter that will fit into the TV plug, and make sure the OUTPUT: 12V --- 1.0A is correct so you don't fry the TV. (there are different sizes that will fit into the TV so make sure you find one that fits) If you have any more questions please Email me at: Todd.Gimbel@gmail.com

Yes, the yellow is video and the red is audio, the other is the power connector.

do you have power going to the camera and if no you need to power it with the power cable that came with it if you are using cat5e to plug it in the use one set over wires top power it there is a adaptor you can buy to do this

On my unit the switches control the power to the two terminal block sections. I have been using it for several months without any issues. Where are you connecting your cameras?
