DS-2CD2532F-IS IR Reflection

[Susp3nc3]

I have 7 Hikvision cams running but two of them (DS-2CD2532F-IS) reflect so bad that you cannot see anything at all. Does anyone have a fix for this? like some kind of dome modification? Or do you just have to not turn the cam to far in the dome?

thanks, i will troubleshoot. I am guessing the camera is turned too far in the housing but will have to play with it.

Had a similar issue, in which I had the tilt near the limit, which resulted in IR reflection in the dome. Problem was resolved by mounting the 2532 on a wedge to have the lens closer to the center of the range.
