I purchased a Revo Camera System from Sam's Club. When I first installed it everything was good. Now 6 of the 8 cameras will only record in black and white. Once in a while I can get them to turn to color if I move the camera, but then it goes back to black and white.

This is because there is not enough light where the camera is placed and the infrared kicks in. Try providing a light source or moving the camera to an area with enough light.

No Sweat. Try this and post later... Look at the camera directly ther you will se the lens in the middle and several diodes (transparent domes) and you will also find a sensor which is the same size as the diodes but it is not transparent but red looking. Make sure this photo sensor is not being blocked by any dust debris inside or outside the glass, if it is clean it. Please write back

My smilebox slide show won't record. It use to and then just stopped. Everything else works fine.

Assuming nothing else has changed in your computer (no other programs/add-ons installed that would cause this), I'd download the free Revo Uninstaller & Auslogics Disk Defrag from ninite.com. Use Revo to fully uninstall the software-- it clears all bits from the registry as well (only tick the boxes in bold type & delete). Then, restart your PC & download a new instance of Smilebox. Get rid of any old SB installers if they remain in your downloads folder.

Now, before reinstalling Smilebox, please do a system clean- open computer, right-click C:, properties, disk cleanup. Delete all it finds & then run the Auslogic Defrag program. After that, run chkdsk (Computer>right-click the C: drive>properties>tools>error checking>tick fix files only).

When it's done, try reinstalling Smilebox.

I just purchased a mod. # UDW20553 system from Sams club The power ac adaptor on one of the outside cameras is not working, where can I get a new adaptor. Thanks, Dennis Falvey

Exercise warranty... you just bought it, contact Sam's for a replacement. Most of the transformers are 12 vDC, but I don't know the polarity. If you have installed the units, contact Sam's explainign that it would cost time to remove and re-install the camera's if they need whole system back...

I keepgetting camera connection wizard stopped working

Sounds like some software got left behind when you uninstalled.
I would recommend downloading a free uninstaller 'Revo'
Disconnect your webcam and close all other programs
Open Revo and double click on your webcam software - confirm you wish to uninstall.
Select the 'Advanced' mode - this will set a restore point - uninstall the webcam software using the manufacturers uninstall program and then it will scan your C drive and Registry for any fragments that failed to uninstall.
Select everything it finds and delete all.
Some uninstallers ask you to restart the computer - ignore this until Revo has told you everything has been uninstalled
