Thank you so much for all that. Because the camera is working O.K. when plugged into the NVR with a short length of cable I was going to try and follow the cable where I could throughtout the loft space. I bought a cable connector tool when I had a problem with the PTZ camera. It's a few years...

UPDATE Took the camera off today and with a short piece of cable plugged it into the nvr. The camera worked fine !!! Yet another question if I may please ? Is the cable a CAT5E cable and if not what is it please ? Any help much appreciated.

Yes, I am hoping that it is the camera because we built the house 12 years ago and the cabling for the cameras was placed internally during the building rater than round the outside of the house. And we had the outside of the house painted a couple of months ago and I can see a couple of things...

Thank you, That's just what I wanted to be told. I hope to get the tower out tomorrow and as soon as I've got the camera back in the office I'll test it and report back. Various other things on the go at the moment so this is having to take 2nd place but it is important to me that we get it back...

You Sir will never know how much I am appreciating your help. Thank you very much. I am going to get my tower out to access the camera, I feel safer on that. I will update as soon as I can but it keeps raining here.

Apologies for bothering anyone but I have found a couple of cables which I think are suitable for connecting the camera to the NVR. They both fit into te NVR socket and I have shown images of both cables which show the cable details as well as the plug at the ends of both cables.

This is the camera that isn't working. Firstly I presume that once I have undone the 4 Philips screws I will be able to remove the camera from it's frame. Then after I either have found a suitable cable amongst my collection or have bought the one in your link that I can just plug it into the...

Strewth, are you two related or something ?

LOL. You're probably right about that. I'll have a good look tomorrow. In the meantime thank you once again for all your help. I was going to get someone to come and fix it for us (I'm getting past all this now - I'm in my 80th year !) but I have got a tower that will let me get up there and...

Really helpful yet again , thank you. And thank you for the links. I looked at the last one showing the short test patch cable and it isn't quite clear on one issue. Does the cable have the same connections at both ends ? The one showing it plugged into te camera is slightly different.

Thank you again for your help. I did try something else today. There is another identical camera on the system and I swapped the cables over where they enter the NVR. The good camera still worked but the faulty one didn't and so I now know that the NVR ports are O.K. Another question if I may -...

Thank you for your continued help. It is very much appreciated. Do these images tell you anythhing ?

UPDATE. This is a photo. taken from my standalone monitor, I can't do a screen dump. I'm not sure if I am in the right place but it is certainly showing that there is something wrong with camera 1 - Farm Drive. I only have 3 cameras on the system.

Thank you so much for that. That is really appreciated. I will log in to the NVR and have a look at that.

2 of my cameras are as described above and one has suddenly stopped working with a message on my stand alone monitor "No network video". I have checked the connection into the NVR and that seems O.K. I wondered if anyone could help me please ? If I detach the camera from it's mount firstly is...

All sorted now and for the record in case it helps anyone else this is what I had to do. After logging on to my NVR I took the options as shown above and then experimented with setting the resolution at various levels, as can be seen above with 1920*1080 showing. My stand-alone Dell monitor...

Thank you once again for all you help. I will have to look at that later because of other things going on but I will be back. EDIT-1 Sorry but where do I find the monitor settings please ? EDIT-2 Apologies, I have found the monitor buttons (I think) ! I presume these are them because I can move...

You Sir are a star. Thank you so very much. I have a different screen to yours but figured my way around it (I hope ! ) and found this. I changed the resolution from what you can see above on the left to what you can see on the right . I now have this on my standalone monitor which is how it...

I have a small problem and wondered if anyone could help me please ? I have a HikVision iVMS 4200 CCTV system purchased some years ago but yesterday we had a power cut and a small problem has arisen. I have a desktop pc which is connected to the NVR and that is working fine and we have numerous...

Still nothing to report I'm sorry to say ! Firstly the chap who is helping me at the distributors has been on holiday and I was told that the R & D team at HikVision who are supposed to be looking into solving the problem are on holiday this week. Is there anyone on this Forum for whom VCA is...
