    IP Camera showing no tx - rx link after lighting spike

    This ptz was painted by the customer so the waranty is void. They purchased a higher end replacement. I had 2nd thoughts after it went into the dumpster, pulled it out and brought it home.

    IP Camera showing no tx - rx link after lighting spike

    I could never replace the chip. It's surface mount so the pins do not pass thru to the other side. The wires are good from the rj45 to the white connector, so it may be worth trying to buy the 48v power board ...

    IP PTZ Camera No longer powering up
