Possible causes for only 2 of the 4 cameras displaying a picture on the Uniden G455 system include:

1. The other cameras may not be plugged in or their red LED is not on.
2. The antennas on the cameras or the receiver may not be properly attached or extended.
3. The cameras may not be paired to the correct channels.
4. Multiple cameras may have been in pairing mode at once, causing incorrect pairing.
5. The video signal may be weak (only one or two bars), affecting display.
6. The cameras may need to be re-paired with the receiver.

Check each camera individually and follow the pairing steps, ensuring only one camera is in pairing mode at a time.
