Yes, I know that's part of the house but it's causing IR reflection. I'm not suggesting knocking down the house, just panning the camera so it doesn't record the house. It's bright white and causing IR reflection issues.
Man this is difficult.

Getting the hang of it
What he's saying is that the field of view on the 2.8 mm is larger then a 4mm or 6mm. Meaning youre trying to get the center of the camera at a certain spot but its including an excessive amount of the house at the edges. This is important because that means the IR coming from the camera hits there and bounces back first. Which is why at night everything is so bring there and the other areas look like shit and without detail. Because the sensor takes in this IR light and closes processes it at a darker area so there isn't total washout.

Use this link to get an idea of the field of view for the different lenses and why they are important. Which goes back to the problem you had with the very first picture you posted and then the updated pics in the second page of this thread. Either lens changes or placement changes are important because if something close to the camera reflects too much light, its going to affect the picture in a different area of things that are further away.

4mm would've been better for most of those cameras but with a bit of tweaking (moving mainly) you can get a much better image. No need to spend more on 4mm cameras unless you want to put the 2.8mm indoors or something.
Ok i have rotated two of the cameras the one at the back door if i move it away we loose the back door so any advice on that one ?
Ok which ones could be changed to 4mm i can change them the one at the side which is the best at night is on the edge of the house the others is hidden under the facia would that cause anything to happen the night time image?
Back door is never going to be great from that position. I mean you can't use a 4mm there either anyway.
OK! Let's see how the night-vision will be but the daytime looks better already!

Cool so what would you say i do with the back door why would a 4mm not work at the back door?
Ok this is the good night vew and locatation of the camera as you can see theres nothing really over the camera
And the garden camera and front of the house there is more of the fashia and gutter over it

4mm will be too zoomed in at the back door, don't you think?
We'll have to wait tonight to see if the garden is any better.

Im not sure i know nothing about cameras and lens i could moce the camera to the cornet over the door and have it looking out after all it dont matter if the camera is looking at the door or looking away from it ?
yes lets see who tonight goes fingers crossed what do yopu think about the camera with the bigest over hang over it would that block it in any way ? the reason im asking is the back camera whats perfect at night has hardly any over hang

You're doing a good job. We all need a little help and guidance on this stuff. We will get this setup as good as it gets, don't worry about that.
One other thing i can log into the NVR but how do i log into the individual camera to change the settings?
Turn on Virtual Host.
The garden looks out of focus. Is it that bad with someone stood there? I'm thinking issue with Smart IR as the daytime is fine.

How do i turn on Virtual host and during the day looks good i will try it tomorrow at night would that be a problem with the camera as the other cameras seem ok not out of focus
