Is anyone else seeing these cameras developing ir led failures? It started off with a single unit. I've now had 4 go dark. Some fade slowly, some blink every few minutes, and the last one went out like someone hit a switch.

I've bought so many of this model from various AliExpress sellers that I've lost track of which cameras come from which seller... So going back to a specific seller for remedy isnt really possible. Since the second failure I've started a spreadsheet of sellers and serial numbers so I can hunt them down. But the four failures so far are not among them. Very frustrating.

I have 5 of these in operation...one china hik, one lts, and three laview's...no problems...the china hik must be 3 years old or more...these cameras do have an issue where the ir stays on even with decent lighting so it might be burning out early...I modded two of the cams to turn off IR when these is enough light..
