I purchased a camera 1 day ago. and after it rained, i notice water on the plug when i unplugged it.. I also noticed that i would get push messages "camera may not be receiving enough power" . I also noticed that the flood light disappeared.
But your right everything works good, it even charged and then went down, and up... like it should. The manual says the battery can go up and down even when plugged in due to temp, and other factors, when it cant charge.
after 1 hour with google, and hours of forum searches the factory resets, uninstalling turning off the light for 20 minutes, etc etc... i noticed sometimes my floodlight app would show, and then disappear.
I even replaced the camera i have 8... no luck.
The problem is the cable. that 3 inch cable that has 4 push pins. They must have a surface level corrosion or water seeped inside that little white chunk. Under the pins there must be a circuit board.. i think water seeps in over time, dries and you dont really notice it.
Solution, try to try it out with a hair dryer, use a soft tooth brush and scrub with hydrogen peroxide... try again..
IF IT WORKS.. mine no luck... i had to exchange it.... use rope caulk around the connection after its fitted. Mortite is a good one. make a little oval and you can always remove it easy and apply if you need to take out the camera.
No dust, no water, so far so good for me. This is what i think the REAL problem is.. if the cable is giving low power, sometimes, and no floodlight ITS DEFINATELY that pin misfiring or something
remember humid days means moist nights... so humidity can STILL get inside that magnetic clip... USE MORTITE or some temp caulk rope.
