Bingo! It worked like a charm! I was now confident that a replacement board would do the trick and would be worth the $35.
MAYGION IP CAMERA VIEWER CRACKED
As a stopgap measure to get the “better” (bigger IR emitter array), defective one working, I actually just cracked open the other one and swapped the boards. The first time I made this repair, it was to one of the Foscams. As of this writing, they also seem to be available here and here.
MAYGION IP CAMERA VIEWER MAC
Interestingly, the identifying product information on the Maygion camera is almost the exact same sticker! They most likely stick one to the outside of the camera because it also shows the mac address.Īlthough I ordered my first replacement for about $35, I recently found one here for only $15 (may be a lot of shipping, though). In this case, though, I discovered room for optimism. The circuit boards inside consumer electronics like this tend to be a nearly incomprehensible array of surface-mounted components – impossible for an amateur like me to repair.
MAYGION IP CAMERA VIEWER CRACK
When the first one died, on a whim I decided to crack open the case and see if it was anything obvious, but I had little optimism. I both cases where the wifi quite working, there was no obvious symptom.no errors in the log or anything…it just stopped reporting found wifi networks through the web admin page and no longer connected to my home hotspot. You’d think this would be a situation where the only option is to toss it out and but a new one, but it turns out it’s not! In both cases I was able to repairthe WiFi.for as little as $10! To get that cheap, I had to do some more serious hacking (as I describe near the end of this post) but my first fix was quick, safe, and cost about $35. Twice, now, I’ve had a camera just stop working over WiFi.
Replacing the AC adapter is no big deal, and you can actually find replacement IR LED arrays on DealExtreme, so I’ve had some luck replacing those, as well.
They’re fairly low-end (among the least expensive in terms of WiFi outdoor security cameras), which means the image quality is mediocre, especially in the brightness extremes of outdoors.Īlso, the build quality is not great. Between the three of them, there’s always something going wrong and AC adapter failing, IR emitters burning out, etc. There are anecdotal stories that the Maygion is really just an unbranded Foscam with custom software, but I haven’t really confirmed this.
