Problems Encountered: The dome shutter didn’t open. Nothing happened when I switched on the dome shutter and maintained the "Open" position. When I arrived, the black box was on OFF so I’m pretty sure I didn’t drain the battery. And when I put the switch on the "Close" position, the dome made its moving sound for one second and stopped, as if it was working in the closing way but stopping because it is already closed. It seems as if the Open position only doesn’t work.
