I could not correct the problem during the hour I was there yesterday. I will try again today. I will also look at a new problem that started yesterday with Camera 2. The video is too light.

It also seems that still cam 2 is not as sharp as it was.  Don't know if it's related.

I think I have Camera 2 working properly now. Still working on Main's night vision camera.

The dark images are due to a faulty camera. The only way to fix the problem is to replace the camera, which cannot be done until October.  In the meantime, we'll be showing one of the other 4 cameras on Stream 1 at night.

Does this account for the main cam being stuck on the same image since 11:35 p.m. Wednesday night (currently after 3 a.m.), or is this a separate issue?

The main cam has a bad habit of rebooting itself every so often.  When the streaming cam is on main you'll see a blue screen then "no memory card".  There does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to it.  Sometimes it stays "stuck" longer than others, but it's generally about 15 minutes.  At last report there had been no response from the manufacturer.  At least it deeos eventually restart.

I should also have mentioned-the night streaming camera that's faulty is actually a separate camera mounted on the outside of main cam's housing.
