Hi Angela,
In situations where all cameras drop off at the same time it usually leads to a power issue. What kind of cameras are we talking about, Analog, HDCVI, or IP? Check the power supply, and possibly power one camera with an external 12v power supply to see if it fixes your issue!
Thank You! Please let me know how this works out for you!

Thanks for the reply Heath. Hope this helps it a 8 Channel DVR Home in/Outdoor Surveillance Security CCTV Camera System 1TB HDD .
So you must have either analog or CVI, those cameras are plug and play, very little to no configuring necessary! If you could check th power supply and make sure it didn't go bad that would be the best place to start! Let e know what you figure out!

Unfortunately it didn't work can you suggest anything else.
What did not work? Can you verify that your power supply is working? You may need to take one camera down and try it at the DVR with a short cable and an individual power supply. Please provide your order number so we can find your information. Thank you!
Did you have luck on this issue ? I need help on the same issue.
Hello HL,
I am not sure of the exact resolution here for the previous customer, however the same steps apply to you. In situations where all cameras drop off at the same time it usually leads to a power issue.
Having the same issue. Cameras went out. Just put in new power supply for the cameras, supply plus the splitter to the four cameras. Works for about 1/2 hour then goes black again
Hello Bob,
It is strange that the cameras turn on for a half hour and then go out. There seems to be something failing here. I would recommend taking a camera down and testing it directly at the recorder with a different power supply and cable. Let us know if that helps. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I'm assuming at this point that it is the dvr itself that is the problem, though I can't figure it out. I switched out the dvr with my older one and the system seems to be working fine now.
