Our church has installed a Amcrest 8 channel system. We installed all cameras, ran coaxial cable and # 7 has never worked properly. The camera shows loading, over and over without coming on. We have changed out the coaxial cable and stil have the same problem. Today , the system was gone back over this morning and cables rechecked. The camera in question, has been checked on several outputs on the hard drive with no change. Sometimes, the camera will show a picture in black/white, very blurry. For a few minutes today it presented a perfect picture, then back to nothing.
Any sugestions. The camera has been replaced with no diference in picture.
 
Have you tried the camera in place of one of the working ones? Have you tried a short cable from the NVR to the camera?
 
If the camera does not work in any of the places where the others do or it does not function as the sole device on the nvr/dvr and you have swapped the cables too, then it is highly likely that the camera is at fault. Does it have a separate power supply? If so have you tried swapping that with one from another camera? If none of these things work, then your last resort is to bite the bullet and deal with Amcrest support. One other option might be to try and reload the camera's firmware if that's possible at all from the nvr/dvr.
 
You said you used coaxial cable so you are probably using a DVR. What are the model numbers of the DVR and cameras? Or what is the model number of the total system you bought? That could help with commenting your problem.
