Miskit128 0 Posted January 20, 2021 My two low lux cameras produce a clear color image when connected to television monitor. But when I connect to my new Lorex 4k dvr, all I get is a black and white image. Does this mean it is time to replace the cameras? Use them for night vision only? Or is there another solution? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hi. Your cameras are not compatible with your 4K recorder .... the give away is you can connect your camera direct to tv which makes it analog only.... also known as a CVBS camera. you might find under camera settings on your dvr a CVBS setting for backward compatibility but most companies don’t use it anymore. But check CVBS is a standard analog format...4K systems run analog HD digital these formats are AHD - TVI or CVI ... these format allow you to use resolution cameras from 2mp - upto 8mp (4K) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskit128 0 Posted January 20, 2021 Ok. Thanks for the reply. Will use them for my older 4 channel USB DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
