[tragic]

So our Axis M1011 camera may have died today (I'm confident that this is the case but I could be wrong) I supplied 5.0V and 1.5A to the camera the green power indicator led would turn on then approximately 5s later it would shutoff.
I tried 2 different power distribution boards and also a work bench power supply.
Also tried having Ethernet cable from camera hooked up to my comp as well.

So my questions are:

1) Am I wrong in my diagnosis? This would to be great to know that this was a f*** up on my end and not the camera.

2) Is it possible to use camera's other than the Axis camera's.

3) I found some Axis M1011 Camera's on eBay would it be against the rules to purchase from somewhere other than AndyMark.(A $200 M1013 from AndyMark is not in the budget)
