Flood Cam will not work at night
« on: January 06, 2010, 10:52:41 PM »
My Flood cam will not work at night.  The flood lights come on but the image from the camera is basically black.  It seems as if the reciever is receiving a signal from the camera but the image is just not there.  Anyone have any ideas?

You are not alone.  I have 500 watt floodlights that don't even provide enough light to these "standard" x10 cameras.  My images go black about 3/4 of the way into dusk.

I have a bunch of the standard wireless xcams that I got on ebay a while back.  I am going to mod the lenses and swap them out one by one.  Great idea!!
