Faulty IR cut filter ?

Recommended Posts

I have a hybrid 4 channel dvr linked up to 4 cameras. I had up until lately 2 HD SDI cameras and 1 analogue camera on the system. All are full night vision cameras all with Infrared LEDs. I have just put a 4th camera on to the system which is also HD SDI. The cameras are all powered by a 10 amp 12v adapter to make sure they all have sufficient power. The analogue camera was moved to another spot and was rewired using RG59 shotgun cable. Since then it refuses to switch on its IR leds despite it having no problems before. The reason I kept it in the system was specifically because it was good at night looking in to an 18 metre long back garden. I'm at odds as to why it has decided to stop working. I changed the power adapter from 6 amps up to 10 amps but it still refuses to work. I have also tried unplugging the 3 latest cameras to see if the others were draining the power but still no luck. Anyone any idea as to what it could be. Would a 2 way power splitter at the camera running to a separate IR illuminator solve the problem ?
