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.

Those are not worth returning or repairing. Just replace it. If you want to try a repair, I'd suggest /r/diyelectronics or similar, but it will cost way more to fix than a quality new camera most certainly.

I like ReoLink cameras for home use.

No matter what you choose, be aware of security implications for connecting cameras on any trusted network. Always isolate them.

    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.
