With constant rains and thunder my CCTV monitor is not displaying anything. The technician had asked me to keep it switched on sometimes everyday. I did do that everyday but today all of a sudden the monitor started behaving oddly. At first it showed "No Signal " on its screen then it did start working but the display kept on getting wiped out time and again and ultimately the display screen stopped working with only the start indicator blinking. What might have gone wrong? The monitor or the hard disk? The technician has promised to come and check. Since it's raining I think they will reach after it stops raining.

Thunderstorms can wreak havoc on electrical signal. I bet it will be working again, after the storm is over.

@aninditasen I think CCTV is not connected with satalite than how it stop working in bad weather, it is indoor equipment

The technician says it may be a problem of the hard disk but I don't think so.

Thunderstorm sometimes does affect electricity or signals. Due to the typhoon, we had heavy rain and thunderstorm the last few days. One day, my place was out of electricity for half an hour.

There might have been a short circuit somewhere.
