    Default security cameras gurus, need some help

    Went to check my cameras and all have static/snow, some with loss of signal that comes and goes. Tried a new DVR box, same thing. Suggestions? Is it as simple as the power supply to the cameras feeding interference but still sending power?

    I did order a new power supply to try.

    I can see picture in cameras, things seem to be functioning properly, just the "snow" or some kind of interference in signal, but it's consistent over all the cameras so I don't think it's one camera or one cable.

    Q-See systems if it helps. QS-458 and QTH-84, both DVR's same issue.thumbnail (64).jpg

    Check your connections, when my cameras gets snowy I just move the connections around and it clears them up

    That's what I'm afraid of, if it's camera end, a couple of them are 30' up.

    Yeah it would suck but I usually just unplug the electrical connector and the cable to each camera and plug them back in and they work fine

    I don't, but I think I'm one the right track thanks to Wizeguy, just need to do the dirty and get in the attic and check connections. Thanks Anthony too.

    Note, just a heads up, it was the camera power supply. New power supply with harness cleared it up, cost about $15.


    Now to sell some new HD cameras and my used DVR on the 'bay to recoup some I'll upgrade and keep the newer DVR I bought.
