Wittaj, could you please post a picture with the target box that you use? Mine, sometimes won't even move at all, if a car is to fast, or just goes to a weird spot.
It is a motorized lens movement? Maybe a connector is not plugged in properly? Maybe you could unplug that big connector, with all the bronze ribbon cable and plug it back in. I would inspect the solder joints(on the bronze looking ribbon), see if there is no visible circle on it(that would be a...
We have some firmware(s) on this forum as well, if you go into the vendor area, at the bottom of the forum's main page. Look for Empiretech(Andy), and he has most of the firmware(s) there ar well.
I have noticed with similar splitters(using 2), once in a while, some of those cameras go offline, but a reboot, or two will bring it back online. I'm not sure what is going on, they lose their ip address? They are regular cameras, not POE+ ones.
That hardened steel piece can't be drilled out, he is right.
How about using the smallest hole saw? It will be hard, since the pilot drill bit can't be used. This could be done on a drill press/milling machine only.
Or maybe you can find on Ebay a broken camera.

I don't know the size of that grab(set) screw, maybe somebody knows and will let you know. Maybe you could measure it with something.
You can drill it out with a drill bit for that size thread. For example, if it's M4 x 0.7, then you would use a 3.3mm drill bit.

I would do that and see, maybe there is some water inside.
I have even repaired dead cameras. Usually, surface mount capacitors short out. I would start measuring them for short.
It shows up on the network?
The favorite camera that most of us are using is the SD49225XA(2MP) or XB(4MP). It works way better then what yo have. I had the same gen 59225 like yours, and that one can't compare to the 49225XA, or XB.
There is a thread here, about how to unbrick it.
I had an issue like this myself, and it took some time and effort to unbrick it, but it brought it back to life. Also saved some money in the process. ;)
I'm not thrilled about the price, either. I will be paying it for three years. First time doing that, but at least Samsung will give 4 OS updates for that, so I can keep it longer. My Note 8 does not get anything anymore.
