You open your phone to check your shop or home, and your CCTV feed is completely blank. It’s a stressful situation. A non-working camera means you are completely blind to what is happening on your property.
As a leading CCTV repair service in Delhi NCR, we get calls like this every day. Here are the three most common reasons your CCTV camera has stopped working, and how to fix it.
1. The “Black Screen” (No Signal)
If your monitor or app shows a black screen with a “No Signal” message, the camera has lost power or the connection has been cut.
- The Cause: This is usually caused by a damaged power supply, a rat chewing through the wire, or a loose BNC connector.
- The Fix: Check if the camera’s power adapter has a red light. If it does, the wire might be cut. You need a technician to test the cable and connector.
2. “Device Offline” on the Mobile App
If your camera works on the TV/monitor at home but says “Offline” on your phone, the issue is with your internet or DVR network settings.
- The Cause: Your Wi-Fi router might have restarted and assigned a new IP address to your DVR, or the LAN cable connecting the DVR to the router is loose.
- The Fix: Reboot your Wi-Fi router and your DVR. If it still doesn’t work, the mobile configuration needs to be refreshed by a professional.
3. Blurry, Foggy, or Water-Damaged Image
If the image looks cloudy, it’s usually a physical issue with the camera lens.
- The Cause: In Delhi NCR, heavy dust or monsoon rain can scratch the lens or cause moisture to build up inside the camera housing.
- The Fix: Gently clean the lens with a microfibre cloth. If moisture is trapped inside, the camera’s weatherproofing has failed and it needs to be replaced.
