  If your Orion Security System is showing no picture, several factors could be at play. The camera might be out of range; if so, relocate it closer to the DVR, or vice versa. Ensure the camera is properly paired. Also, signal interference can be a factor; try moving the camera and DVR away from sources of interference like sun, rain, radio transmitters, heat, metal, or major obstacles.

Why does my Orion Security System screen display white when IR night vision is on?
- K
  Kimberly LeeSep 2, 2025
  If the screen on your Orion Security System displays only white when IR night vision is activated, it's likely due to infra-red LED light reflecting off glass or reflective objects. Relocate the camera away from windows, reflective and glass objects, or remove any obstacles causing the reflection.

  If you are experiencing audio interference with your Orion Security System, the camera and DVR might be too close to each other. Given that the camera has a high-sensitivity microphone, keep them at least 5 meters apart. If this isn't possible, reduce the volume or turn on MUTE.
