Question about security camera belongs here, right? - eviltoast

Hello,

I got WiFi security camera from China, it worked fine for few months.

Now the colors are messed up, I think they are inverted, there is no option in settings for inverting colors, I did reset the camera, but it didn’t work. I did firmware update and neither did it work.

Camera model: JA-C10CS

What could have caused this?

P.S. before you ask, I did contact manufacturer and they are offering replacement, but I have to send camera back and since I ordered using freight forwarder, sending it back is more expensive than it’s worth.

    I like this camera, because it doesn’t even offer cloud recording, so I’m not annoyed by that popup some other apps have I have used before.

    I don’t really care that much about this camera, I was just curious what could have caused this, I have never seen colors messed up like this.

      The reolink cameras dont have popups and not even sure about cloud services, although I have not really looked into them. I have over 20 at my house and just record locally
