Stopped taking daytime video

There could be several reasons why your Cobra camera system stopped recording:

1. Storage capacity: If the storage capacity of your camera system is full, it may stop recording. Check if you need to delete some old footage to free up space.
2. Power supply: If there was a power interruption or outage, the camera system may stop recording. Ensure that the power supply to your camera system is stable and reliable.
3. Camera settings: Check the camera settings to see if there are any settings that have been changed that could have caused the system to stop recording.
4. Camera malfunction: It is possible that there is a problem with one of the cameras in your system, causing it to stop recording. Try troubleshooting the cameras individually to see if they are functioning properly.

If your camera system started recording again after stopping, it may have been a temporary glitch. However, if the problem persists, it is recommended that you seek assistance from the manufacturer or a professional technician.

It sounds like the schedule is set to record during certain hours. Make sure the schedule is set for all day and if you want motion recording or continuous.

If you have IR capability make sure you have power to the camera as well as a video feed. There should be a tail at the camera that supports the power and a plug in for the other side.

cameras are more sensitive at motion during night time, also camera cable noise can trigger the camera to record continously

Hi mmcgee6,

You need to check the settings in the camera , as to whether it's selected on night mode or not , when you use the camera at night , and particularly if the light is not as bright as day light.

There should not be any problem with the night shoots from the camera if there is no problem in the day , it's just the settings that needs to be changed to night mode.

Also a good idea would be to set the flash settings on Auto instead of Off , or other settings , this will adjust the camera as per the environment in which you are clicking your pictures.

Hope this helps ....:)

Since the camcorder returns to the auto shutter setting and the auto exposure setting when it's switched into Night Capture mode, I would say that might be your problem.  Change your shutter and exposure settings. To do this, switch to Camera mode, turn the menu dial to the setting you wish to change then press enter.  You may have to play with the settings until you get the desired picture. Remember, faster shutter speeds for faster action (stop action), and longer exposure settings for darker situations. Let me know if you need more help.

One of my friends had the same problem, I told him to change the memory card with a fast one and it works. I think it hapen when the camera buffer compilitly fulled becouse of low speed memory cards. I hope this helps.

Hi maria,

first how did you take a picutre during daytime ? try the auto setting on the camera , perhaps you have it now in the night mode and that may cause your problem

Not specific enough but I would run a head cleaner thru it for 10 seconds and see if that improves things and always use the same brand of tape to prevent gum issues.
