The power light is on but the camera is not working?

If three of your Swann View Plus cameras are not working and the remaining four cameras have rapidly flashing green and orange lights at the connecting port, there could be a few possible issues that may be causing this problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the Power Supply: First, make sure that all the cameras are receiving adequate power supply. Check the cables and the power adapters to ensure that they are properly connected and functioning. If the cameras are not receiving enough power, they may not function properly.
2. Check the Network Connection: Ensure that the cameras are properly connected to the network. Check the cables and network settings to ensure that the cameras are configured correctly. Also, check if there is any interference from other devices or networks that may be causing issues.
3. Reset the Cameras: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to reset the cameras to their default settings. To do this, you can try unplugging the cameras from the power supply and network, then plugging them back in after a few seconds.
4. Contact Technical Support: If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Swann technical support for assistance. They can provide you with more specific troubleshooting steps or guide you through the process of repairing or replacing your cameras if needed.

It's worth noting that Swann View Plus cameras may have their own unique troubleshooting steps or issues, so you may want to consult the user manual or online forums for more information.

Try another set of batterys, can you clarify what do you mean with power light? does the camera function at all right now?

IF you are not using the dedicated power connection for the camera, just tape it off and tuck it out of the way. As for the camera not working, have you confirmed that it is getting power through the backup light tap?

Because the camera is what is technically known as 'Portable'and is designed to work purely from the internal battery. the Power Adapter merely charges the internal battery

Hi, this happened to my Samsung ST500, it took me months to find out what was wrong with it!, i found out the it gets stuck when the lens is different or has dirt in the lens.

• I Got Mine working by cleaning the lens but if that dosnt work try this, mine started working when i dropped my camera quite high onto the ground which can make your lens pop back in if this dosnt work, try your warranty!:)

Make sure you are using the correct batteries, and that they are installed correctly. Some cameras require more powerful kinds of batteries and will not work with the cheaper kinds.
A blinking light can mean something is wrong with the power, not enough or something else.
If you have a power adapter or can get one, you may try that, to see if the camera will work without batteries. If it does, then some problem exists in the battery circuit.

If the power light is not on, it could only mean 3 things, power adapter, power outlet and the camera itself. First, try to connect it to a different power outlet, see if power light will come on, if not use a different power adapter with the same power specs, if still power light is not on, then it has camera could be bad. Call linksys support line and have it replace

Make sure that batteries are fresh and battery compartment is clean.
