Hey all IPCT!

I bought this camera like a year ago, and only now playing around with it. I have had it connected to POE+ switch HP-1910-8G-POE+ for about 5 hours sitting on my desk and hooked up to Blue Iris (working great, but only 1 camera).

I pick it up and the base (where the metal plate covers the circuit board, is just ridiculously hot to the touch. Just curious if I should be concerned about it.

Also looking for a recommendation on inside camera (saw this one recommended: IPC-HDBW4231F-AS) as well as if this DH-SD29204S-GN PTZ can survive outdoors under an eave to monitor the new house in Colorado, while I am travelling back and forth.

Thanks.

Maybe more like 120 degrees :) It's definitely running a fever, but I couldn't figure out how to change the title.
