I have just installed four DS-2CD2342WD-I 2.8mm cameras into a DS-7608NI-I2/8p to replace an analog system.
One of the cameras is noticeably inferior to my previous analog camera at night. Items as close a 10m are not really illuminated and clearly visible. Daytime image is good. Another camera in a different location seems to illuminate an area of 15m x 15m very well. Could the camera be faulty, some network power or cable issue, or settings that are changeable? The firmware is 5.4.5 and I can't seem to get to any parameters to adjust anything other than brightness, contrast, and saturation. Yet I have seen videos that show WDR adjustments etc. Any help is appreciated.
