    Camera quit working in the cold

    Sounds like the exact same issue as mine, although mine was a bit newer than yours.

    mine worked for about 2.5 years before it got frostbite. New cam is up, works great, even in subzero temps.

    Camera quit working in the cold

    Yeah, if my camera worked 'only when warm' it would be no good at all for me. I use them for security, especially when I go south for the winter. Now I have no security, so I'm still here...freezing.

    Plus, that space is fairly inaccessible. I'd have to go into the boiler room, remove a 4x8 piece of OSB, climb up in the hole and through the rafters for 45 feet. For me, those days have passed, my friend.

    Camera quit working in the cold

    The cables go through a hole into the (weatherproof) OSB soffit of the overhang in front of my garage. There is no room for towels, etc. in that space.

    Camera quit working in the cold

    LOL! Would I do this before or after I wrap it with towels, tinfoil, and tape??? Hahaha. The camera is no good. Now I just need to decide what to replace it with.

    That's exactly what happened. I swapped locations. Bad stayed bad, good stayed good. Not cabling/power, as good cam works at both locations.

    Camera quit working in the cold

    What?? The camera is mounted to a wall outdoors..... what good is it if it is wrapped up with a few towels/aluminum foil/tape???? This is where I feel like I'm being pranked. Seriously. I'm not going to wrap the camera in towels, aluminum foil, and tape.

    The patch cord going to the switch has AWM 2835 60 C 30V VW-1 26AWG/4PRS. The cable going out to the cam is 23 AWG 75 C (UL) C(UL) CMR---ETL VERIFIED TO TIA..... So, no CCA.

    I don't know the technical specs for my wiring - it is just CAT 5 cable.

    Negative. The other cam works fine on the same connection. This cam will not come on. I suppose I should get another one ordered. Sigh

    My camera quit again a couple of days ago with the drop in the temperature.
