Another B52IR Z12 failing

I think can check the camera's log then know what happens to the camera, if not too many abnormal, then need to check if the NVR record well or not, put a SD card inside the camera and test.

While the picture on the post is older showing only one cam to the right, there are now 2 cameras there now. The second pic is of the setup on the bench. It replaces the white Turret cam on the right

How is the cable getting into the junction box - from behind or the side? When possible it should come from the bottom. Anywhere else and seals and caulk fail, especially that wood/fake wood and groove lines. Either that or your RF neighbor is injecting the boxes with water at night.

@bigredfish got it thanks.

I don't understand how water is finding its way in. I completely sealed the box with caulk and the box has it's original seal as well

Other points of moisture incursion are the SD card/reset button door....and/or the screw in camera mount on the flat area on the back of the camera where the mount attaches.
but you'd see water vapor on the lens if that was happening. ( usually) Florida is a different planet than Minnesota, could be all the wild weather you get. you'd have to take a video or photos of the camera as installed so wee can see if you have missed something perhaps.

Camera typically, what camera again?

B52IR-Z12B. It is the web 5.0 GUI

The cables come in via conduit on the left side and there are holes drilled straight through and at 90 degrees. The 90-degree conduit (seen on the left) is recessed into the PVC and caulked liberally.

I can see that, but there is another camera right below this one and it is working fine for almost 2 years now. The 2 junction boxes have a short PVC coupler between them. If it was that, the camera on the bottom (overview camera), I think, would be more susceptible to the issue
