IPC-HDW5231R-Z Showing Black video (can still connect however)

[Gencom]

Hello,

I currently run Blue Iris, well today I decided I was going to try something different and on my spare computer I setup Aimetis. After it detected the camera it showed a preview of a black screen, I switched over to my blueIris and it was also a black screen ( i can still see the time counting in the top right ) so it is on just the video is black, and not even solid black more like the you dont have this cable station black on your tv. I have rebooted the camera, I have uninstalled Aimetis, I have restarted blue Iris, and the switch, and I still have the black video. I can still log in to the camera however and see settings etc.. Anyone encountered this before??

Did I overload the camera, what could possibly be going on here? Aside from me should have left well enough alone?

Maybe try resetting the camera?

Some of my cameras will display black if the image contrast is set to zero.

this sir was what it was, logged in and somehow the contrast was set to zero... Problem fixed... are the defaults 50?

Excellent ... in the past I've used his method for privacy when needed.

Both of my 5231 Dahua's are set at a contrast setting of 3 (scale of 0 to 6).
