Geovision Problems

Recommended Posts

Has anyone lost any channels on thier geovision cards. I have lost 1 channel on one and two channels on another. Both appear to from nearby lightning strikes. I have surge protection on all inputs, however, I am tieing into exsisting systems with really crappy wire and installation. The lost channels just show blue screen no matter what they have connected (not "video lost" - just kinda staticy blue screens).

 

Anyone have any suggestions on getting the channels back or preventing this from happening again. (rewiring is impossible in most these situations or I would have done it)

First rule of thumb. No surge protector you can buy will protect against lighting strikes. The one people that come close are power companies and even then they are ment to be one off.

hi

Isolated video balun and good ground on a rest of system

 

use the wire coax run as is and ad a ~10ft or more

run of isolated balun on bad line

on your side of sytem, on the entry point close to good grounding point

your computer must have good one ground no g loops

all power for a system from one line

 

all you geting is inductive video damage

 

good start
