Hi powered baluns are your problem … I would swap them out for normal baluns

 

the reason why

power baluns don’t use all remaining cores for power which effect’s camera power 

standard baluns only need 1 pair for image … you then spit the other pair’s for positive and negative power…… I would also use another power adapter…. Two on each and the reason for this is if you have a faulty camera it does not take them all out
