If you have connected existing HD Coax cameras to an AVYCON Hybrid DVR and they seem to be showing in black & white and not color mode, it is probably due to the cameras being in HD-CVI mode (Dahua and other Dahua OEMs), which our recorders still have issues with when configured to try to automatically detect the signal type. You will need to perform the following steps on the recorder's interface:
- Click on the Start button and navigate into Settings->Camera
- Next, click on any of the choices in this menu so that the system will enter into the fullscreen menu mode
- On the left-hand side of the screen, find the link for "Camera Signal"
- Once in that menu, under the Signal column, change mode to CVI/CVBS mode for each camera that is showing in black & white, and then hit Apply
- After settings have been applied and saved, once you navigate to the live screen you should now see the cameras in color mode
