It was fun while it lasted

Had a lightning strike at our condo complex a few days ago and among the many things that were cooked were 2x IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 cameras. They'd been working great for 8 years.

I'll be pulling them apart in the next few weeks to see what was cooked.

Not sure if I'll be replacing them anytime soon, with the economy going the way it is.

Oh not good news. Shame they got electrically damaged. Be interesting to find out what damage was caused, when you investigate. Perhaps they may still work with 12 volts DC rather than POE.

Those bullet cameras are more susceptible to lightening strikes - I know several Z12 owners with the same experience. Haven't had an issue with the newer Z12's yet though.
