Power issues are the silent killers of CCTV systems. A fluctuating or failing power supply can cause rolling lines on video, ghosting, night vision failure, or damage the camera's motherboard. CamHarbor troubleshoots and replaces faulty CCTV power units.
We deal with both individual power adapters and central SMPS (Switched Mode Power Supply) units. Common symptoms of power failure include cameras restarting repeatedly or working during the day but failing at night (when IR turns on).
We replace cheap plastic supplies with heavy-duty, surge-protected metal power units. We ensure that the amperage is sufficient for the number of cameras and the length of the cable run (as voltage drops over distance). We also check your UPS or inverter connection to ensure valid backup during power cuts.

Common Questions about power supply repair Repair
Why do cameras flicker?
Often due to insufficient amperage from a failing power supply unit.
Do I need a stabilizer?

Yes, a central SMPS can power 4, 8, or 16 cameras, provided it has enough total Amp rating.
