I can't imagine that anyone has actually tried. That's a pretty advanced troubleshooting step that also requires some very specific equipment. Also I think only you and I have run into issues. I am planning on swapping the cameras today and pulling the one with the bad belt off the house and...

No patrol at all. I think it was just the weather. Camera was frozen from snow and ice and either power on or I triggered the motor. One would think that this would not destroy a camera, but I need to pull it off the house when it's nicer out and I can get a ladder out there, put up the new...

It was dead and needed to be replaced. My replacement just died also, same model. This time it's the PTZ function that died. Andy says it's probably a broken belt and it can t be fixed. I replaced it with yet another of the same model (I might just be a glutton for punishment here). I also...

It's like a puzzle putting all these parts together! I think I have it now, though I've had to run to the hardware store a couple of times. The knockouts on the PFA130 are 3/4". the flexible conduit I ordered was 1/2", so needed some adapters. Also needed some 90 degree conduit connectors and...

Thanks, ordered one to try out.

This is a case of where a picture is worth 1000 words

I took a look at that box yesterday, it's still pulled up in my browser. I guess the issue I thought I might have is the fact I need to point the camera straight out from the fence, where in the examples above the camera are pointed to the side. The cam specs say there is only a 78 degree tilt...

Bringing this thread back from the dead as I have the exact same mount as in post #4, only it's mounted flat against an 8' fence post at the yard end of my driveway, with the camera looking down the driveway. Because it's 8' off the ground, the ethernet cable can be reached and cut (though I...

Thanks for the quick response on an old post. As my main street camera is completely down I had to buy something. Emailed Andy for a recommendation and ended up ordering an SD49425XB-HNR. I think there's a replacement model coming soon for it, but I couldn't wait. If it works no problem...

What did you end up going with for a replacement? My SD49225T-HN won't get an IP address. Just took it off the house, reset button hasn't helped. If I squeeze the cable (that's integral to the camera), I will sometimes get a ping back from the camera, so I think the thick cable at the top of...

I think it may be the cable that goes into the unit. Request timed out. Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable. Reply from 192.168.1.70: Destination host unreachable...

found it, had to remove the back cover. doesn't do anything though. tried holding for up to 2 minutes (as i read in another post). it never reset. even tried holding it while applying power at least until the motor turned it too far for me to continue holding. the instruction manual talks...

do these things have factory reset buttons? I don't think I've ever noticed one but let me look into it a bit more.

So I finally got the camera down, I've tested the PoE injector and all cables. Camera is powering on it's not getting an IP address so I think the camera is toast. No moisture inside either. I'm outside of the 3 year warranty window so I guess I just need to replace the camera. Any...

No love after the upgrade. I have 2 more immediate options as I see it. I think I can reach pretty close to the camera with a blow dryer out a window and if there's a water issue, maybe I can dry things out with some heat. I have a constant ping running to .108 and can see responses from time...
