Yale CCTV - power supply issue?

[DaveBea]

Hi guys,

I’ve been having some issues with a Yale y804a-hd1080 CCTV system.

It’s been working fine for the last few years, a few months ago I started noticing thin horizontal lines (more prominent at night) on the camera feed, the HDD then stopped recording ahead of the camera feeds dropping out and black screening.

I replaced the AC/DC adaptors like for like and this resolved all of the issue...it was recording again with a crisp feed from the cameras. Unfortunately this only lasted around 6 weeks ahead of the problem reoccurring.

Changing out the plug again seems to resolve the issue yet again, but I don’t want to be having to do this every few weeks/months. Any idea as to what the underlying problem could be or am I looking at buying a new system?

Thank you.

Is it a multi way psu ….eg one psu with a 4 way splitter ? Problem with these is ..one one the cameras has an issue it may damage the psu …either fit a proper 4 way psu with separate fuses or fit 4 separate psu’s

Hi mate,

Its a 6 camera setup. I've got one plug which has a splitter going into 2 cameras and another plug which has a splitter going into the other 4 cameras. The final plug powers the DVR.

Is it normal that one or more of the cameras would just develop a fault after a few years and cause this?
