Disassembling Netatmo Outdoor Camera Main Unit

ID: 170587

Description: My camera stopped working, and technical...

Steps:

1. Remove the plate at the bottom of the camera by inserting a screwdriver in the slot, and bending while pulling.
2. The panel will lift up and can be removed.

3. Insert a flathead screwdriver into each hole at the front of the camera and push the two tabs to the centre and forwards.
4. It's hard to see, but you need the triangular part at the front, rather than what appears to be a tab at the back.
5. Pushing towards the centre allows the lens cover to come off. These can be done one at a time.

6. Remove the six 2.5mm hex screws using a long Allen key.
7. One screw has an earthing ring wire. Don't forget this when reassembling.

8. Separate the two pieces by pulling slightly on the lower module.
9. Pull the metal housing forward.
10. Pushing the light from the inside can help in removing the shell.

11. Using a 1.5mm hex screwdriver remove the four screws holding on the camera module.

12. From this point the housing can be worked up and diagonally to reveal the circuit board, and ribbon cable.
13. Be careful with both the camera module ribbon and the one for the LED lights (which cannot be removed).
14. Do not slide the circuit board within the heatsink otherwise you risk ripping the LED ribbon cable.
