It is amazing how sometimes it's a pain in the butt to get them plugged and seated correctly so they will make perfect continuity, but I figured it must have been something else in the picture, as losing a half day over one of those would indicate you need to get into another profession......Oh, I thought it was the gold 40 pin "J1' that was not plugged in.

I'm assuming they "lost half a day" before they decided to open up the camera and that some cursing followed.It is amazing how sometimes it's a pain in the butt to get them plugged and seated correctly so they will make perfect continuity, but I figured it must have been something else in the picture, as losing a half day over one of those would indicate you need to get into another profession......

I did this first time I opened a camera to see how feasible it would be to change the lens. Fortunately, it was just the connector for the IR LED and I just mounted the camera where I wouldn't need IR. I've since learned that it's uneasier to unscrew the IR LED from the body than try and fiddle with the connector.
Live and learn, right?

He's not getting flogged, silly.
He's trying to crawl around to the back of the right corner to see the LCD screen on the two APC UPS units cause one of 'em is beeping.
By his reflection it appears he is on THIS side of the glass, as are the room heat radiators....so he's bending over for some reason...and I don't really need to know. 
^^ Getting ready for his yearly performance review, most likely.

Can I get a Shamen? 
Hard to do wire management/ rearranging with one hand in bandages. Now the cables are stiff and frozen....will wait for a warm April day or maybe June

You've got Velcro wraps on it. Done.
What's the reason for the blue adapter going into port 1 on the Cisco switch? Looks like you could just plug the cable going into that adapter directly to the switch?

Was running 2 cams off 1 cable. Until the 5231 fogged up . then i brought it inside. There is a pair of splitters in a kit from Amazon. you can power 2 as long as your staying with a cabling standard like using 568B
