CAMERA TROUBLESHOOTING

If you do not see video from a camera:

1. Check to ensure that the camera is connected to a Video-In port.

2. Check the individual cable connections - both video and power.

3. Connect the camera to a different video-in port to determine if the problem is with a camera or a cable. Switch one element (camera, or cable, or power supply) at a time to isolate the problem.
