    Thanks, I updated make/model number. I tried to cover the camera and turn it into the night mode. I did work but when it switched back to day mode, there wasn't purple layer. I will have to wait until tomorrow morning and see if it happens again.

    Thanks TonyR for this.I tried it and noticed that when plugged into the laptop it keeps disconnecting.I went to Network connections in Control panel and could see it changing between "Enabled" and "Network Cable Unplugged". I tried 3 different ethernet cables just to eliminate faulty cable.I...
