Great tutorial, thanks a lot.

I have a problem with infrared, Netgear isn’t able to help me without seeing the camera.

I would like to ask you….

In the night the red leds light on but you see all black, there is no light entering in the lens system. I think there is a problem in the diaphragm… what do you think?

The first months it works correctly (except once when I see all pink, I fix it restarted the camera).

Thank you!

Where can you buy the board and other parts?

I’d like to know too. This repair guide is no help if you can’t buy the parts needed to complete the repair.
