Camera Feed Just Turned All White

Update.

Playing with the exposure settings did little good. The daytime video feed is still a white-out. bigredfish suggested to "dial.in" the exposure settings, but I have no dial option in exposure settings. That might be because I have outdated software

However the night time feed has substantially increased due to increasing the IR light intensity. I did not know that option existed

I'm starting to think this is hardware failure. The camera is subject to direct sunlight most of the day, and it's been very hot all summer. Also there was a heavy rain right before the white-out took place, so maybe the camera is not fully water resistant, or it's just coincidental

A hardware malfunction makes more sense to me because I'm the only person with access to the software (that I'm aware of) and I never made any changes. Unless it's theoretically possible for software to change it's setting by some other means

Worse case scenario, the camera was well worth the $50 I paid for it, for the time it lasted. I will buy another Amcrest, they are great cameras

Update #2

The parking lot "white-out" camera just
crashed. No connection

I'm now wondering if the problem is a faulty (now dead) PoE injector

Sounds like the IP5M-T1179EW-28MM. Mine is 5 years old now and still going, got it from amazon for like $53 or so.
The firmware in mine is V2.800.00AC000.0.R, Build Date: 2019-11-13, recent ones being sold on amazon is the IP5M-T1179EW-AI-V3.

Yes, that's a great camera for the money. The low light color vision on that camera is impressive. Im getting the new AI version soon.
