i have separate power supplies on all cameras, crappy cameras are blowing led's rapidly.

the replacement LED boards I get from China are worse, and the LED's last about 3 months until they are all blown.

Originally I asked if there was some kind of protection circuit i could add on the board but I haven't received a response yet.

Well the LED's didn't blow for 5 years, now they are always going within a few months.

How long should the led's last in a good camera running 24/7/365?

Any links as to where I would buy a good camera?

only some of the led's are blown.

the cameras are not crap, the replacement LED boards are crap.

I thought there may be a protection diode or some other mod to add to the board

to prolong the life of the LED's.

Anyone?

Hello everyone,

I have several security cameras around my home. All of them are night vision cameras.

It seems that the LEds in these cameras do not last very long. I have been purchasing a replacement LED board for each camera, however they do not last longer than a few months.

The board replacement is very cheaply made (in China) and tends to blow more easily.

All of the power supplies for each camera are clean, and working.

I have other more expensive cameras where the LED's never blow (not in 10 years)

So I want to ask if anyone knows of a mod to one of these boards. Maybe the current limit resistor is not the correct value?

any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou
