If you connect a monitor to the DVR, do you see a black screen? If the voltage is good for each line, then check if there are any errors relating disk drive or other parts.
I have the same problem. But i wondered in the beginning of this video you measured the old PS is 12v, but in the end of video the voltage of the new PS is 24V ???Please help. Thanks. I measured my PS is 11.96V so i think my PS is working fine.
Yes, 11.96 V is basically 12V. The power supply I used in testing was 24V. That’s why it showed 24V. In my case, 24V was ok to use since I have 8 cameras with extended wires. Needed more power to maintain all of them.
Thanks for this video, our camera system went down with this same scenario situation, Thanks much, I just have to bring my voltage meter and do the same as you have done.
@@jonastriesanything Yes, thanks for the reply, only to find out that the strip it was in was not working but still going to make sure of all the other plugs I tried you trick though, only to discover no light on that main snake plug (rectangle box that you speak of and point to in your presentation.
@@jonastriesanything Our cameras are back up and running, Thanks once again for this clear and precise demonstration. t was the 12v power supply that feeds the octopus wires.
So im wondering if this is the same reason my outside cameras act funny at night and go all fuzzy then go clear and then just record in black and white instead of colour.
@@Dancerboxer might aren't black, I have 2 of them get pixelated at night. And then one of them just stays back and white outside and the rest are colour.
omg this fixed it. I spent an hour wasting my time with Lorex’s troubleshooting guide. Thank you for this video.
That’s awesome! Glad the vid was able to help you out! Thanks for the great feedback as well!

I took the power supply from my old router.

Thank you..i have the same problem. I will change my power supply.
Sweet!
thankfully mine came with a spare plug, Thank you man! never thought to try and switch them out, worked like a charm!
That awesome to hear man! Glad my vid helped you out!
Hi I'm having the same issue, does that power supply plug into the DVR?
There are two power supplies. One for the DVR and the other for the camera wires (octopus connector). This one is for the camera wire.
Hi having the same issue again do you recommend the 24v oppose to the 12v it comes with?

Sweet, glad this vid was able to help you! Hope your camera system will be up and running soon!

So im wondering if this is the same reason my outside cameras act funny at night and go all fuzzy then go clear and then just record in black and white instead of colour.
Yes, exactly the same symptom that I had. Camera goes blurry, then black after. Caused by faulty power supply not supplying the right amount of power.
@jonastriesanything that's so weird cause I had these cams up for over a year and just last few months they act up.
Same thing happened to me. Had this system over a year and all in a sudden… screens are black

So, I’m having same issue. My Current power supply is 12 v. To both unit and cameras. Was yours 12v originally.?
The original was 12v.
I ended up just using the 24v power supply and that seemed to fix the issue.
Let try this thanks
Let me know if this works for you as well 😉!
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Where do you buy a new power supply from?
Amazon. Just search for security camera power supply.
