I hooked this camera up to my system and the video feed is scrolling the frame from the top to the bottom making the video feed unusable. Any ideas?

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.

This camera has a button to adjust the setting on it. You will need to play with it to adjust. Sounds like you have it set on mirror which is reverse.

Sounds like a problem with the computer, not the camera. Some computers have problems playing full HD video.I would suggest trying to play the videos on different computers, to help determine if the issue lies with your specific computer.

The likely problem is that your computer is not powerful enough to process the high definition video. I had the same issue. My temporary solution is to take the video at a lower resolution - which somewhat defeats the purpose of the camera.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

It is not normal, that is not coming from this product. Without troubleshooting your specific system, I would think your Video Receiver is out of adjustment. I would call the tech line of the maker of your Receiver.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

I think I have a solution. The way to fix this is to play around with the camera settings. First, set the camera to the 'P' mode on the little wheel that turns. then press menu. Scroll to the right until you come to the 'focus' setting. sroll up to 7.0m, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore. After that's done, scroll over to the REC Mode and make sure its set to 'normal. That should fix it, It was bothering me too ;)

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

Probably, mine don't do that. Or could be a defective camera or Cable.I did use a different cable in my install. Mine work perfect.

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

I think the issue is on your DVR, not the cable. If you are seeing the video it's not the camera or the DVR. You may need to enable the channels to record. I'm pretty sure every time I added a camera in had to tell the DVR to start recording the new channel.

I have been tracking this issue also, but I don't have the new camera yet. I just put together s system with the same processor and memory, and installed Sony VMS 10. From what I have heard, the problem is capturing the video from the camera in it's native format. Once its in a suitable format, it will handle the video.

Try replacing the camera and computer first. That way you can eliminate all the other variables. If a new camera and computer doesn't solve the problem, you probably need a new cable.

Oh gosh I wish I could help. I don't even have the same computer anymore, so I no longer have the zip file. I do remember spending 2 days to get it straightened out. I would buy a new camera before going through that again. I see some good deals on newer cameras. Good luck!!

It has been a few years since we owned these cameras. They were very low quality and we have since replaced with another system. I would try contacting the company for replacements or check ebay.

i had a semula problem, this camera needs strong flow of amp. if the camera is about 60-100' it might not be getting enought amp's. try a shorter connection from the power supply to the camera. and also if you are using a cheap vedio cable you well get line in the vedio try coaxial cable.
