Struggling with picking a camera

Hi folks.

I'm really struggling to pick a camera, atm I have 9 cameras, they are all old analogue dome cameras. One of them has died so I need to replace it. The good news is the original installer used ethernet cable and is just shunting the analogue signal and 12V down it. So I can unplug it, put RJ45's on the end, and use PoE. Yay.

  • Must be PoE of course
  • Is to be used with Frigate
  • My house is set back from the street, but I also have neighbours, so cameras that require the flood lights to run at night are probably a no-go? But perhaps cameras that have IR night vision and can switch to white light / color night vision when an object is detected could be good?
  • The camera that has died is covering a driveway, 25 meters long. It's mounted up high on the house
  • The existing cameras are all turret cameras, but I'm not opposed to changing that if there are benefits to doing so
  • I don't think I need features like PTZ or Zoom
  • Must be purchasable in the UK, ideally from Amazon but that's optional.
  • My budget is up to £200

Feel free to ask questions if I've missed anything above, hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction. Thanks :)

Hi folks.

Occasionally (and annoyingly today, after 30 hours of print time...), I get:

Lost communication with MCU 'EBB'
Once the underlying issue is corrected, use the
"FIRMWARE_RESTART" command to reset the firmware, reload the
config, and restart the host software.
Printer is shutdown

dmesg says:

My first guess is that the cable has worn out. Is there any way to source a new cable without buying the whole kit, or does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing the problem?
