Night time drop out?

Recommended Posts

Installed a system for a client during lockdown last year. Fast forward the better part of a year 30/04 21:16 it started dropping out during the dark only! Upto this point all 4 cams worked flawlessly day or night. Its a colourvu system im thinking its either power surges ( they are in the sticks ) or a PSU/splitter problem. For all 4 cams to start playing up at exactly the same time i highly doubt its the cable or the connections on the shotgun

On the chance im wrong any other ideas?

Hi. Yes sounds like you are right 
problem with kits is the power supply is too small ( if you look at your psu) it is likely to be a 2amp 

Also with using pigtails you only need 1 camera to have a fault and it affects the rest 

best type of power supply to use is separate channel power supply there not expensive

The psu wasnt part of a kit, was bought all separately at the distributor i use, it is however a 2amp psu. Ill get a 5amp see if that works any better.
