Base station VMB4540. Not powering on

LUFC44 — Mon, 06 May 2024 09:41:22 GMT

Hi , my base station / hub has stopped powering up altogether. I have tried all suggestions on here to try powering up but it appears dead, only 3 years old.... anyone had similar problem if so, is it just case of buying another hub.? I run 3 wireless cameras , nothing else..

It could be the power adapter - it might be worth a risk-buy of a compatible replacement, as that is cheaper than getting a new base.

One of several that claim to be compatible is here:

(Note I haven't purchased this - it is just a starting point, not a recommendation for this specific adapter).

Hi. Thanks SB for your response. I might try that option first.

Hi SB. Just to add I did purchase another power adapter and it worked. Hub powered up and online again. However only one of my 3 cameras have hooked up I will attempt to pair the 2 in next few days. Thanks for advice as saved many pounds£.

Great.

I hope you get the remaining cameras back on line soon.
