Yes you are right, new camera will be placed lower.
The camera currently mounted is not waterproof (and is only intended for indoor use), so I had to mount it high (to be shielded from the wind/rain).
I know it might be dead on the first rain, but this is okay, it is an old camera ~8 years.
I've mounted two cameras, at point 1 and 3 (actual mount points were higher than what I've planned, but ignore that for now).
Usually the street has good enough light for both cameras to stay in color mode.
Cameras:
1. IPC-T2431T-AS 3.6mm
2. IPC-T5442T-ZE
Every once a while the street light goes completely off (not sure why).
When the street is totally dark, the cameras start their IR light.
I wanted to tune the night mode profile for IPC-T2431T-AS but I noticed the IPC claims it is on day mode (however, IR is on), what should I do upgrade firmware or is it possibly a configuration issue?
The brighter image is from: IPC-T5442T-ZE and the other one is from IPC-T2431T-AS.
