Thanks all! So I got the ladder out and wiped the camera lens. That didn't do anything. And then I logged into the camera directly (thanks @sebastiantombs !) and played around with the IR settings. This was what I was looking for! I have snapped some photos to show you what I'm seeing. Photo...

Hi there. I have a IPC-HFW5231E-Z12E running through Blue Iris. It's pointing down my 70yard driveway that is lined with trees. Initially when I set it up the night vision was great - I could see down the end of the drive no worries. Then oneday I noticed the camera was all out of focus, it had...

Thank you!!! I'll go with that cisco switch then :D

Hi. I'm new to IPCams - but have read a lot over the last few weeks and I'm slowing figuring it all out (I have ordered 3 cameras EmpireCandy and have a server pc ready to go). The one thing I can't figure out is the switch. I want something that will handle 6-8 cameras. But I'm worried about...
