IR light not working/floodlight still works - dark image at night

Post by Tha_Matt_Man »

I noticed that the image of one of my presence cameras at night suddenly was very dark.

The "purple" IR-lights are not working anymore. The camera still switches to "dark mode" with grey image when it gets dark and the floodlight still works.

The camera is out of warranty.. other people that had this issue? Any ideas if this is fixable? I do not want to buy a completely new unit..

Could it be moisture/dirt? Looks like it around the camera lens in the corners.

But the LED light/IR light area looks strange at the bottom.
