A couple months ago I purchased a HDW5231R-ZE from empire (who I highly recommend), but I’m a victim of a recent, nearby lightning strike. The PoE no longer works (why couldn’t it have been one of my Lorex cams!). I tested the camera with a 12v power supply and it functions fine, I even updated the firmware to 2017-11.
I guess I’m looking for suggestions as to wether or not I can fix it/troubleshoot it or if it’s not even worth the hassle and I should just look into a power supply since that works.
Basically lightning struck near by and fried my Lorex nvr, Asus router, att gateway, and some other stuff. Luckily everything was replaced for free except the Asus I use for my vpn, but port 1 and 2 still work and I was apple to set port 1 to the WAN. Everything is back up and running and ironically I had a battery backup in my amazon cart when this happened .
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions let me know.
Thanks.
