Just received the above IP cctv camera from ebay this morning, While plugged into the mains I'm getting a loud buzzing noise anyone with the same camera confirm if they have the same problem?
Also its a bloody nightmare plugging and unplugging from the mains very stiff.
I'm not 100% I trust this item Is there also any way of checking if its legit or a copy?

I had a similar thing, power supply blew after a short period. I suspected the seller had imported them cheap with the wrong plugs then bought some cheapo UK ppwer supplies.

Hmm think sending this back will be the best idea then
Don't fancy coming back to a burnt down house!

Is it just the power supply? or the unit it self?
Was the power supply in the box?
I've had an import unit that came with a UK adapter separately that was shocking and made a noise like that. Lucky I had spare power adapter so just used that

Its the power supply mate was also included with the camera.
I haven't tried it again as it made another weird nose after only been on for less than 5 minutes.

Jut a case of opening up a port and forwarding it to the IP of the camera. It might be worth setting a fixed IP on the camera just in case the router decides to change the IP it allocates
