chrisdel 0 Posted November 24, 2009 Chris from Toronto here. Thanks in advance for the privilege of using this forum! Hey guys I have a 4 camera system with dedicated bosch DVR. A couple of days ago one camera was creating a purple video image (so I thought!) So I replaced it tonight! New camera, same purple image. This camera was plugged into channel 3 of my dvr so I unplugged camera 2 and 3 and switched them.... The purple image is coming from the DVR. All camera settings are the same in the set-up menu. Is this channel pouched? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisdel 0 Posted November 25, 2009 What is ccd? I have been using this Dvr for 4 years. Just now that one channel went purple. Must be a hardware fault. Not sure if its fixable or if my 4 channel dvr is now a 3 channel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scruit 0 Posted November 25, 2009 So you switched the connections at the DVR and sent came 2 into ports 3 and vice-versa, and the same DVR channel (now a different camera) is still purple? If so, and the factory reset didn't do it then I'd agree with your initial assessment that the channel is bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Biphase 0 Posted December 11, 2009 Is it a DVR4C? What model is the DVR? without any cameras connected, is it purple? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
