My monitor does not power up at all. Any suggestions? The monitor and the camera are connected to 12V and ground with the green wire switchable, but m

I've had two of these. The first didn't work out of the box. I sent to considerable effort to install the second one. It worked for only two months before exhibiting the exact same problem you're having. It's just not a quality product. We got what we paid for.

Mine works great and has for months with daily use. Have you tried hooking it up to unswitched power to see if it powers up at all? Otherwise sounds like a defect to me.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

Obviously, check all connections. Also, the power might have been cut so you would have to reenter pswd. If you look at face of camera at night you can see if it glows red. If it doesn't the camera(s) not working. Other than that, I would need more info....

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

could be a bad connection from the camera or power source, or a bad monitor.

Just plug the monitor to a 9V battery that you can buy from the Dollar Tree. Red wire to the positive and black wire to the negative. Use one of those "TV GAMES" joysticks with the built-in games to test it. I tried it yesterday and it worked great!

I am having the same issue, as buying a new kit and keeping the old monitor as a backup or only buying a extra camera (for old model 02644)... did you get any ansers?

Sounds like the adapter blew. If the green light is out, that has to it. My guess is they would send you a new adapter.

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

The camera, when in video mode, turns itself off after about 25 minutes when connected either to this power supply , or on battery... not aware of a work around or hack to change that .... good luck ... let me know if you find a work around

Sounds like the monitor is losing signal from the camera.... make sure the camera is not too far from the monitor and make sure there is nothing interfering with the signal.... hope this helps

It could be a number of things. First thing I would do is check all of your connections. Unplug and reconnect just to be sure. Check your power supply. If you have another monitor hook it up and see if it might be your video card. If you do those things and everything is connected properly, and the other monitor works fine then I would say you need a new one.

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

Is likely a broken wire or dirty connection. I would try the cable on another camera. If it works on another camera, the contacst on your camera are probably dirty. If it still does not work, it's probably a broken wire in the device. A broken wire in the device is unlikely to be worth fixing outside of warranty.

Thank you SOOO much for your long post. I appreciate it. It turns out that I didn't have the camera listed under "my computer" for whatever reason but then searched the web and found another expert soul and was able to do "something" to my bios that fixed the problem immediately! You can tell I'm not too techy........!!

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.
