I'd say just bite the bullet and buy the BMD one for around $240. NEVER had a problem with it.

Yes, I had trouble. Bought one to use on a feature, converting the SDI signal from our BMCC 2.5K to HDMI for video village. It worked for just a few days, but then wouldn't convert the signal anymore. I remember wiggling wires, and randomly the signal would come through, but from that day forward it never worked again. I was disappointed it only lasted a few days before "breaking" or whatever happened. I returned it for a refund after I returned home from the shoot.

hello cameron. i brought this unit for my blackmagic 2.5 camera as well. im sorry to say that it do not and will not work. the output voltage from the blackmagic need to be converted to a different signal. i had to buy the "link" by indipro. works perfect but do cost about $250.00. i hope this helps.

It doesn't do any PsF. Don't know if it handles interlaced either. Pretty limited.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Gerald, did you ever get this issue solved for your camera? My niece just got one from a friend and she's having the same problem! HELP!

Try reinstalling the software. Mine acts that way sometimes. I know the camera price is low end of this type of camera, and I didn't expect a superior audio hardware. Given the fluctuation of the audio quality, I assumed the buzzing issue has more to do with either the camera software or the internet connection or both, more so than the hardware itself (other wise why I get better audio than buzzing sometimes?)

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

im having trouble making the 2 cameras that I bought work with my UDS655 System. I need help! I plugged everything in but nothing seems to be showing in the screen. All cameras are activated and nothing. Please help

Yes it seems to be in slow motion when using the Magic Pix(nightshot) mode.. although I'm not sure how this looks when transfered to P.C.

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.

I'm having the same problem I think these cameras are faulty. I am clearly not impressed with mine.

Try with and without the image stabilization to see if that makes a difference. Also try at lower resolution. I just did "Fast 720P" with a clear picture, I also had record when moving so it only never recorded more that 5 min at a time. I have not noticed that problem yet, but I have notice jumps(screen goes blank?). Could be the card. Make sure it is a class 10 card. I just upgraded to 64gig SanDisk Extreme and will see if it makes a difference.

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.
