Repairing PTZ IP camera
Our Floureon pan tilt and zoom external IP camera has shipped a bit of water. It lives on the south west corner of the building and gets battered by the strong south westerly prevailing winds we have here. So I took it off the wall this morning and dismantled it on my work bench.
It was a fairly simple fix
- I dried it out using the hot air blower that’s attached to my soldering station. I set it to minimum heat, 100°C.
- Cleaned the lens internals with my isopropanol | vinegar | distilled water mix.
- Cleaned all seals and coated them lightly with silicone grease.
- Reassembled and tested it. Then put it back on the wall.
