I have 7 cameras set up and installed. 6 of them work, one is a black screen, but seems to be trying to display the video, but just getting black screen. The camera name shows up under Channel management. I have verified all equipment is up to date, and i am not on a computer viewing these, i am directly logged into the DVR, so device drivers are NOT the issue. I have swapped out the ethernet cable that runs directly from the DVR to the camera and no change. I also swapped out the camera, no change. I have tried plugging the ethernet cable into 5 different ports ( I have a 16 Channel dvr ) and no change.
The strange thing that i cant wrap my head around is if i take the 8th camera (not in use) and plug it in to the DRV, it works. When i go outside and swap the camera it fails with no connection. I know its not the ehternet cable, i have swapped that our already.
I have reset the DVR and reconfigured it, thinking maybe it was something I did, but Its still happening
Hopefully someone figures out this mess and posts here for all to see
