Hi I have replaced some cameras with ds-2cd2347g2-lu

Can someone help me with what settings to change that will help the image look less washed out. I have attached a photo, in the scene beyond my property where the road looks washed out. This is even worst at night when the street lights come on

The installer has left all settings as default

That looks ok to me.
Though I do tend to suspend judgement a bit on a CCTV image as opposed to those from my normal camera.

Plenty of detail and contrast on the car in the road, and in the road markings.
And lots of contrast and bright colours from the flowers and plants in the garden.

Thanks so much for the reply. I think this image shows the issue better

its the same problem like a few days ago with your hilook camera ... you dont want to post screenshots of your settings, so how could someone help ?

may you should consider to ask the installer ???

also if you want to record the street you should consider to install 2 cameras, one for entry and one for street. its hard to get settings which are good for both. according to your last screenshots the street is bright (in night) but your entry is not.
hlc/blc/wdr will help somehow, but then you will may have problems with the darkness of your entry

Ok, so what you are seeing there is the effect of the finite dynamic range of the sensor when there are sections of the scene where the illumination is a lot different.

You can mitigate that to some extent by enabling and configuring HLC (highlight compensation) at the expense of a 'flatter' image with a lower contrast.
It's not an option I've used much, I prefer good contrast, even when a part of washed out a bit.

These are the default settings

It's not going to get a whole lot better than that. You could try playing around with brightness, contrast, sharpness and gamma and probably get some marginal improvement. Also settings for backlighting/WDR/HLC/BLC. That will affect the foreground of the image too so you'll have to balance things.
