Surveillance Video Forum - CPCam has ghost picture

I've been useing a CPCam 4 for the pass 3 months it just started to have a ghost image of the picture that one of the cams has. That starts on the left side of the screen and goes to the right as it does this it starts the motion and the dvr starts to record. So now my dvr keeps recording. All 4 cams have the same image. I hope you under stand what I'm trying to say. What could the problem be.

Answer for the forum:

I just have a few questions, so we can narrow down which of the system components is giving you the problem. Is this ghost image that's triggering the motion appearing on all 4 cameras or just one? If its only appearing in one of the cameras can you switch that camera to another DVR port and move one of the cameras that was working to the port of the camera that had the problem, let us know if the problem follows the camera.

Image is on all 4cams. If I unplug the cameras in cam 1 and cam 2 inout the ghost image stop. I've plug the cam from 1 and 2 too 3 and 4 and the work no ghost image. Then I plug any of the cameras to cam1 and cam2 the ghost image startes up again. So as long I don't have a camera plug in cam 1 or cam2 jacks it works fine.
