Around 3:00am, I am woken up by loud noises. I look out my window to see what it is...and the power lines have sparks shooting out of them. This was about 12 hours after I purchased this camera.

  • Actually, if it blew the meter, this is an example of what happens when the high voltage side gets shorted to the low voltage side. This could be due to fallen trees or a short within a transformer even. The insulation used in the low voltage side (120v; 240v) can not withstand the thousands of volta on the high side so electricity goes everywhere. Very destructive to all electronics plugged in. Here is another example: watch?v=mvNA2kawKVE
