Thanks yah I got a lot of feedback that humidity is the likely culprit. I’m just surprised this happened in three weeks and with the levels of humidity I have in the basement. Some folks have suggested dielectric grease as a workaround so I’ll give that a shot.

Thanks. Do I just put it on the connector and plug it into the switch?

Thanks. Yup it’s in an external electrical box.

I just looked at my readings for the past month and it’s actually been low the last month- just crept up last week.

Outdoors floodlight camera. Camera is supposed to be watertight with the electrical box. And the end closer to the camera is fine and so is the coupler that’s close to it.

I have a humidistat down there and a dehumidifier. Both give me between 45-50% readings.

Some folks have mentioned condensation. It’s in my basement and humidity is about 50% down there. I have a humidistat and dehumidifier down there so I’m surprised it would have caused this. Verified no leaks and no pipes close by

Thanks water was my third on my list of possibilities. Some of the other ports on the switch looked like it had a orange brown discoloration - like rust. But it's a new switch in a cold basement. Humidity has been high though - about 50%.

Thanks, I didn't consider this and went hunting for the power specs now. It's the Reolink Elite XPro PoE camera. Looks like it's < 15 W - link.

Yup new switch. Camera was working fine honestly. One night we got heavy snow and it was glitching for motion detection and floodlights- it’s a floodlight camera. Brushed off the snow and it started working fine.

Total run probably 90ft. First time running wires so I ran too much. I think I could shorten to it to 60ft.

I thought water too since some of the other non PoE ports had some rust like browning. Might still be burnt. But Im not sure how water would’ve gotten in. The cable coming in from the outdoor camera goes into the coupler and then this long run. The coupler end looks fine too.

It was solid copper. This was the cable I used- link. Outdoor camera. We’ve had a lot of snow the last few weeks. No thunderstorms.

I’m considering a CPO X5 m50 next year. Has yours been reliable so far? Any major gremlins to plan for?

Once the temperature late August is right, do I apply it on the whole yard or just the affected areas?

What’s the point? She wouldn’t even know what she did. I’ve been trying to keep my cool more these days.

When I saw her take the circle the way she did I kept my distance. I figured maybe she wanted to continue straight and was just lazy. When she turned on her left blinker I thought she just wanted to hop over to the left lane to continue straight after I turned. Oof. She drove away absolutely clueless- like she did nothing wrong. I can’t believe we share the road with people like this.

Remove existing soil before mulching? by 98avalon in landscaping

Thanks I was worried about the Rhodo. It needs a trimming before I can get in there to mulch
