The 5442 Z4E I put up recently went dark during the thunderstorm we are having. It sits right above the B54IR ZE which is working, and both are connected via combiner/splitter. I swapped the connections from the splitter at the NVR and the 2 channels status also swapped. I even replaced the splitter with another I have here - no change.
Since it's supposed to rain until after dark, I'll have to wait to check the camera and connections at the pole tomorrow. Since the inside connections check ok, it has to be out at the camera - either connections or the camera itself.
I checked the recording of these 2 cameras, and right before it went offline, there was a faint white horizontal band flash near the middle of the image, then camera output went dead. Viewing the cameras together during playback, you can hear the rumble of lightning on the ZE right after the Z4E went dark. It's odd because there were no lightning strikes close to here, about 5 miles away was the closest
