The cameras are Sony's, they are these models http://www.cctvproducts.com/sscdc374.html They could very well be getting cooked inside their housings, they sit out in 95+ degree sunlight in the summer and below zero degrees in the winter. Would sunshades above the cameras help keep them from baking? When the cameras stop working they just seem to not have any power going into them. The lenses seem to work fine, but the cameras do nothing at all.

I've been using sony cameras for some time and have been having problems with them lasting more than a few years (not even two years). The old saying "you get what you pay for" seems to ring here. Does anyone have any info on the build quality of cctv camera brands, or info on which ones seem to last the longest? Thanks
