I installed some cameras at a friends place about a year ago and one of them has got a fault. They're the same cameras I've had at my property and which have worked flawlessly for a few years- SVD4600.

Friend told me the screen suddenly went "blank" and that the picture "sort of came back a bit a few times some days later but then stayed blank".

I had a quick look today and the 3 other cameras are fine but the 4th one has the following appearance on screen:

Not completely blank as you can see and has a lighter shade either side.

I didn't have time to check inside the camera, connect directly to a hand monitor and have a look at the focus today but will return tomorrow. To my knowledge no-one has played around with the kit.

Any advance on fooked?
