If it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck at all ;)

Just wanted to update every one on what the official Zmodo tech support replied with via email. LOL

Probably did, it has been a rough month or so (lost my grandpa) and gotta say I have a lot on my mind. I do get what you are talking about. I just now sent an email to zmodo about the camera, so we will see what they say about it. I guess what really get's me the most is I paid 35 bucks for that...

I had actually looked at going that route for later on when I get more. Just right now it is not in the budget :(

Thanks again for all the help. I did just go outside (night time here) and I took the front glass off to just see. With the glass off, it was pure white and could not see anything. The seal is good around the lens and it is not getting any "leakage" behind the led's (checked that while I was...

From the tree to the house I would "guess" roughly 150 feet. The plug and the surge protector are located in it's own little outside box. I can try to get pictures tomorrow if I get the chance to. Since I am running on wifi only as my "connection" to the camera and video feed, I only need the...

The wires that are hanging would be the ethernet connection and of course the power connection. The camera is NOT battery powered. It uses a regular wall outlet style plug.

Yes, and it is also the 12-2 underground. Not normal inside house wiring.

Well of course none were the "best", but at the very least I could actually see more detail and the vehicle that pulled into my driveway with the older one. This one here is just awful..lol I am currently using 12-2 wire to an outdoor electrical plug (housed unit). Then using a surge protector...

The connection to the camera itself is wireless (running wifi). Have not had any issues with that and it shows around 50% signal strength. Only thing is I do not want to run ethernet cord to it if at all possible. Would prefer the wifi ones. I guess what baffles me the most is the fact that...

Well, I just tried all the suggestions and it made no difference at all. Even moved the camera away from the tree and tried various other outlooks and nothing. Must have just got a bad deal on the camera.

I will go out tonight and see if any movement changes the outcome of anything. Also when you say use electric tape at the base, do you mean cover the bottom of the lens to see if it helps? Thanks again

Thanks for the quick reply. I went ahead and took a few pictures of how I have it mounted (same place the old one was). BTW, I checked out the glass and it seems to be completely clean and clear. Also, from what I can tell the rubber gasket is in properly like it should be.

I had been looking around on google for a good forum to maybe help me out and I ran across this forum, so I just now joined. I had purchased an IP camera last year to keep an eye out on my driveway (live on a farm and have people who like to try and "steal" if you know what I mean). I had...
