Camera Just Showing "Darkness" clicking repetedly non stop

Post by ryan112ryan »

I have the 1080 HD-CVI 4 camera system. I tested all cameras before mounting them and they worked well. I put them all up and three work great, but the 4th is all black, says "darkness" on the camera even though its bright out. It also makes a clicking noise about 1-2 times a second non stop.

I did use a cable extension for the run, but I only needed a few extra feet, its going over about 200 feet of cable.

Is the camera bad or is that run of cable too long? If it's too long, could I just cut the cable and splice out the excess to hopefully keep up the voltage?
