What to fix first
In order of impact, for whoever maintains your cameras.
- Turn C-05 back toward the north fenceRestores 180 m of coverage.
- Switch C-02’s infrared back onRestores the north-east corner at night.
- Send working credentials for C-08Lets us check the substation.
- Clean C-04’s lens at the next visitSharpens the west fence beyond 40 m.
These four fixes close the north gap and bring every camera back into use.
