Quick update. I took the cameras down, opened them up and gave them a good wipe down. Added a few new well placed silica bags for good measure. I did not apply Clear Vue internally due to the sponge. Instead I applied it on the outside/weather facing side of the glass. So far all camera's...

Do you think adding a wipe of Rain X or ClearVue on the inside of the lens cover may help as well. I guess that along with a full dry out and new desiccants will make it bombproof over it's expected life. Cameras are not the sort of thing I wish to be continually removing and drying out...

Ok great, will order some desiccant bags. For the schematics it looks like straightforward access to the inner of the lens cover. Hopefully, that's all that is needed. The cameras are brand new so was a bit surprised this is how they are shipped?

Thanks Dan, I noticed that on a zoomed photo but it was not so clear just looking at it. So, you think I could just unmount the camera, unscrew the lens cover off and leave the two halves to dry near a radiator. That should resolve it pretty quick right. Maybe add a few new desiccant bags in...

It has this sticker over the seam

Hi Dan, The micro SD is inside the camera housing. In order to get the front cover (1) off it needs to be unscrewed. However, underneath it has a tamper seal on the seam of front and rear housing (1+7). So any unscrewing will tear the tamper seal. I am guessing this would invalidate warranty.

Hi, So I got these cameras IPC B650 Z On set up and installation they have immediately developed foggy lens and condensation inside the glass. Great :-( Is there a way to fix this ? I understand there are ways to address the problem by opening up the camera but as it is brand new and...

Then a good old fashioned reset and start again I guess

Have you checked your Network and IP leases? Are you clashing with another existing IP address ? Try DHCP instead

Click add device to list and then try from there- Also why in SADP is your IP address for the camera 192.168.1.226 ? Have you changed it manually or are you using DHCP to get the 192.168.1.137?

Click the grey box at the bottom where it says "Online Device" Is your camera activated?

1. Tick the box 2. Click on refresh Your network status will go Online and Green Bingo !

If I go by Edge, Chrome or any browser it will give the 'notSupported.asp' return and you cannot access the camera configuration etc If you install HiTools Delivery it will see all your online cameras. You can see the IPC-650H Z circled. 1. Tick the box on the left 2. Click on the setup...

Ok I've had a similar issue with a new HiLook. My camera is a IPC-B650H Z It will not allow access from a browser, so sounds like the same problem. Set it all up properly.... SADP, assigned new IP, strong password. In fact it would not even allow access even on default 192.168.1.64 either...

Many thanks for that Dan. The 16 port and above Hikvision switches do look identical to other business class network switches that are available and they do appear to have 2 fans on board. Network switches I understand can certainly be louder than a NVR and the concern with the 2 fans here is...
