Swann wireless camera video loss
Maybe out of range? Maybe the camera is defective? Any additional information you have as to what camera and distance will be helpful.

It may likely be a mismatch in camera and DVR technology. Since the HD over coaxial cable cameras hit the market, there have been many protocols of HD cameras. SDI, TVI, CVI and AHD are the 4 using their technology. Hikvision and Dahua, the 2 largest manufacturers of CCTV now make their DVRs cross compatible with all protocols except SDI which is Korean and was the first. SDI is kind of dying a slow ***** due to the other less costly versions of HD cameras. Their DVRs detect the protocol and make it work automatically. There is also the analog or non-HD which is not compatible with the HD. So if you have different protocols and you are using low grade manufacturers that don't allow cross compatibility, then that is the issue. These lower tier manufacturers like Bunker Hill and Swann don't even tell you the protocol on their spec sheets most likely. This also causes confusion for end users and even techs like me. So my recommendation would be to call the manufacturer and see if they will tell you their dark secret about which protocol they use. They usually won't or the tech support will not even know. My advice is to switch to a better manufacturer.
