Why is my bullet camera flickering? (Video Included)

Recommended Posts

 

Towards the 15th second mark, you can see where the camera is flickering. During the night time, the camera seems to be more stable. Thank you

What is the voltage at the camera?

How have you connected the camera Cat5 with Baluns or Coax?

Have you tried the camera over a very short cable in the house perhaps?

I am using Siamese Cable with RG59. The power source is coming from a power supply box. The camera was fine for couple months and now the flickering is happening.

Try your cables both BNCs and power cable terminations. At the dVR end simply move them about and inspect them closely

Look for efflorescence (salt corrosion) at the camera end either on the connectors or in the cables.

Inspect the camera to see if water or moisture has infiltrated (unlikely)

 

If your camera is supplied exclusively by a single power supply swap it out with another to see if the problem moves to another camera.

Keep a record of all the things you try which will help you in eliminating the fault eventually.
