i have a Hikvision DS-2CD2532F-I camera. my camera was vandalized. the dome cover is heavily scratched. where can i buy a replacement dome cover?

i bought a used HikVision DS-2CD2112-I. camera works great in the daytime but at nightime it flashes.. i have set the setting to auto and night... is the camera defective or are there other setting that i can change to prevent this flashing? FLtuaJ6Lv5c

thanks JoeyJoey and rayt for the tips.. i actually restarted the computer and it did ask me to install the plug in.. i see the new features.. also, can anyone point me where to download the chinese firmware 5.02? a friend of mine has the chinese version of the DS-2CD2332-I and he flashed it to the 5.1 but he says that at night, the auto day/night IR mode looks darker in the new firmware version..?

i have the usa DS-2CD2112-I version and i flashed it to the new firmware but do not see the new features like being able to turn off the IR light -i checked under advance configuration, system - the tabs that i have are Device Information Time Settings Maintenance RS232 DST i don't see the service tab?

mounted outside on a wall under a balcony

the camera is mounted on a wall under a balcony. i went outside to check the camera from the street and the infrared led light is turning on and off...thus, i believe this is where the flashing is coming from..

switch time is set to 20, but i have tried it up to 80..(in night and in auto mode).. setting it to daytime mode eliminates this flashing but i would like the detail of black/white picture...

exposure time is set to 1/30. it flashes most of the time throughout the night, switches between the day/night modes, then it will change/flash again, etc.. video was taken late in the evening, the level of darkness is consistent (there is a street lamp on the opposite side of the street).. another video (sorry for the shakiness/bluriness) 3TQYKKMWWHg i have tried turning on and off the WDR but that doesn't help.
