Do these cameras need sd card, I have plugged everything but the screen does not have anything on?

Yes, This camera does need the SD card for recording and taking photos of activity.

The monitor needs the SD card to record only. Be sure to have the monitor and camera close together and sync the camera to the monitor as the instructions advise.

It depends on the model. You should purchase a SD card for storage convenience. You don't need a SD card to view. If you get black screen is that the sensor is not sensing strong motions. Either it's that the cameras are way too far away from the monitor/recording unit or the cables need to be secured. Unfortunately, the sensor only works within 100 ft. My units work great for me to monitor my staff over the wall on the other side of the office. It records very clear activities onto my SD card which I chose 64 GB.

Only a power cord,a battery, a couple of cables to connect to a P/C, and a Shoe adapter. No SD card was included with mine.

I wonder if it is not recognizing the SD card. That is the kind of message you get with the internal is full. Try "playback" with the chip removed to see if you have images there.

The camera doesn't have a card, it has to have access to a pc hard drive. good luck with getting any help from the "tech support" dept. I don't recommend.

You should be able to the USB cord that the camera came with to plug into your computer. You may need to turn on the camera after you plug it in.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

Did you plug in the GPS antenna? Reset camera and make sure the memory card is 4 to 8 GB.. my best guess...

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

No, it is simply a camera with no memory card. If Wi-Fi is off. the camera records black screen on the Monitor Software program. You may want to have back up wi-fi routers, or separate ones for the home computer from the cameras.

No s- video, but you could use RCA plugs, but not sure what the pic quality would be. Time to upgrade

did you buy an Sd card for it? it will not work without it. Try doing that. The screen you are supposed to see is one that has all the options on it.

Yes, we include a 4GB SD card and no, there are no lights to indicate this is anything else but a wall plug. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks Deluxe CCTV Inc.

Unplugged what? Power or Ethernet? First unplug everything. Then plug in power only. Wait for camera to motion test (move side to side - up and down. Then plug in Ethernet cable and connect in the menu. If no connection remove camera from camera menu and search again with camera pass word ID. Keep trying to connect by unplugging power to camera and reconnecting Ethernet cable. Once it works you can go wireless if you set it up in the menu. Its a nice camera. Pete.

No I bought two sandisk adapter sd cards put one in the camera then check my camera in a week or two. Replace the card with the second one bring the first one home and check it out to see what was on it. or take your laptop with you and just use one card. whatever works best for you

Try plugging it into a lead and make sure the power and record light come on, if so the problem could be with card. The lights are located under the removable back cover.
