    Yes. I’ve given up and have asked the AV team who installed them to come in and fix them. I can be rummaging through the walls!

    I bought the house 3 months ago. These are about 8 years old and the house was previously owned by a major celebrity (I am not!) who would definitely have had spy cameras modded.

    It’s 100% a camera. I have two others exactly like it that are functioning cameras.

    Yes - definitely a camera. I have two others that look just like it. And the other two also have white cables close to the unit but somehow they magically change to black somewhere between the basement and the attic at the PoE switch.

    So I can get it off the ceiling and open the (empty, fake) battery compartment. But can’t figure out how to open up the thing to look inside… anyone familiar with them? I don’t see any screws. I tried twisting it. And didn’t see any latches other than for the battery compartment. Sorry...

    figured. I’ve set up another camera to look at the NVR monitor so I can see it on my phone and don’t have to keep running up and down

    I should clarify. I moved it to an empty port. Should I have swapped it with a camera in a port I know is working?

    I moved it over. No change - no blinking and the screen still says login return time is up.

    So - the good news - whoever set up the switch used white cables for the outdoor cams and black ones for indoor. There were four black ones. The top two were blinking green and sure enough when I unplugged them they correspond to the two functioning indoor cams. The other two were not...
