Teardown a TPLINK Security Camera after Oil Soaking
The olil soaking provide water resistance in the water ocean environment.
The PCB power supply part was burnt, could a problem of the oil, but also could be a problem that I used 12V instead of recommanded 9V.
This is the main look from the ouside, the camera ball are controlled and rotate in two degree, horizontally and vertically, good design. The microphone sound is also crystal clear to talk.

The bottom PCB board, provide ethernet port and powr supply

The capacitor seems also burnt

nothing else was burnt inside on the signal board.


backside camera sensor and lens


the oil soaking blur the lens but easy to fix

The speaker and stepper motor

That is all of it!
