Throw away a working camera??? Seems a bit wasteful

Had some more rain and a very small bit of water is in the bottom of the left IR, I'd say thats definitely where its getting in. Any suggestion how to seal that up better?

Yeah I didn't realise how hot the hair dryer was, something definitely melted but all functions are working so not too worried, camera is 4 years old anyway I think it was rain coming in the front as there was unusually heavy rainfall recently. I left the camera open today in the sunny weather...

Well the hair dryer resulted in some smelly fumes, everything still working though...

Its actually a bullet not a turret. I took off the 4 screws on the front and pulled it out a bit, not too much as its still mounted and theres cables attached. There was no water I could see so I'd assume its trapped between the circular glass which makes it difficult to get out

The main thing I want to get rid of is the slight clouding on the lens as its affecting the image quality. If I put a hairdryer on it for a few seconds, it disappears and image quality improves alot but comes back after it cools down. I tried opening the front of the camera but it was dry so...

If I put a hard drive from a hikvision dvr into a new one, can it work without having to wipe/reinitialize.

It's minus .09 with AC, 100% certain. And when I tested the other cameras connector, made sure to not reverse the probes. Do you think the fact the non working camera is showing minus whilst the working one is showing positive is a sign of anything? I done it the same way as shown in that...

The reading is minus .09, whereas its plus .2 on a working cameras connector, does that change your opinion or did you just forget the - in your reply

I did the test shown here How Do I Identify a Ground Loop? | OpenEye and was given a reading of -.09 with volt meter set to 20ac. The reading is 0.4 when set to 200dc When I test the cable of a working camera the reading is .2 ac and .1 dc

I have a camera which is connected to a dvr approx 75metres away. Its being powered locally as there is too much voltage drop with the power attached to the coax. Some power supplies will result in a picture but there is obvious interference/image ghosting/horizontal lines/moving waviness. The...

I was aware they done it with IP but not Analog. Unlike IP the price difference of Turbo HD is much less and the amount of Turbo HD chinese models is very limited. I don't see much benefit for them to do this with Analog as there isn't much incentive for anyone to choose importing Chinese over...

I upgraded a turbo hd 1.0 dvr to a turbo hd 4.0 dvr to try out the new 8mp analog, but the new dvr is blocking my imported chinese cameras which are working on the old dvr, gives error language mismatch (even though the analog camera is set to english language) Seriously annoying. Who'd have...
