Thanks for the post about camera install...I have been waiting patiently (actually impatiently) to hear details about our particular camera (the "group buy").

Here's a thought: Perhaps it is a good thing that some of the lights are blocked--I have been experimenting with the camera (not installed but set up in back of my VX) and notice a pretty bad glare/bright light caused by the too-many red bulbs surrounding the lens. Perhaps it's my temporary monitor's fault (a really small 2" Citizen portable TV.)

If you read earlier posts (about other cameras) some people were able to actually get into their camera and disable and/or re-position the little lights, to reduce glare. It appears we cannot get into the innards of our camera, right?

Two questions about install:

Did you use sticky stuff to re attach the crescent?

Did you use the side hole in the little cavity/space for camera wire to come out? It kinda looks like that may not be an option.

Thanks in advance,
Lori
