A "dead" camera is a security gap you cannot afford. When a CCTV camera simply stops working—showing a black screen or no power LED—it can be due to a multitude of reasons. At CamHarbor, we specialize in reviving dead cameras and restoring your security grid to full functionality.
The issue often stems from power delivery failure, such as a burnt power adapter, a blown fuse in the power supply unit (SMPS), or a severed cable. Environmental factors like water ingress (if the camera seal is broken) or lightning surges can also fry the camera's internal circuit board.
Our repair process starts with a voltage check at the camera end to rule out cabling issues. If the power is reaching the camera but it won't turn on, we test it with a service monitor. We carry replacement DC pins, Baluns, and adapters to fix the issue on-site. If the camera sensor itself is damaged, we assess if a board-level repair is feasible or if replacement is more cost-effective.
