HELP! Installed Infrared LED Night Day Security Camera Problems...please help urgent!?
Details:
EzWatch Pro Night/Day Infrared LED Security Outdoor Camera
there tech service isnt there till morning and we need to catch some vandals.
Got the camera today from ups, installed it tonight, worked great. Its on for about an hour and craps out on me. Itll work and show picture/video when a light is on, but the infrared stopped working. When looking at the camera, the infrared leds are blinking/flickering instead of staying on, this is evident when looking at the video monitor as well. Camera is fine if theres a light source now.
How we have it hooked up, about 5 feet from monitor and source inside, hooked into its on monitor and power source. The camera is hidden inbetween 2 motion sensor flood lights outside.
We had the flood lights turned on for motion detection, but then turned them off when the camera stopped working thinking maybe the overheated it..we dont know..
any ideas here????? in the last week my house has been vandalised 3 times...
If the camera works when there is daylight or floodlights, then your halfway home. LED's don't tend to blink or flicker on their own, that is, like a filament bulb who's filament is almost broken but not quite, if the LED's flicker then they are OK their just not getting the power.
If the led light source is on a cable, unplug and plug the cable several times in the event it's not seated well. Otherwise, find a local ham radio club, you will find a host of technicians who can help "ring out" the wiring problem, which is, a broken connection more than likely. You can also buy infrared light sources all by themselves which would solve the problem.
