Horrendous glare in IR mode

[Eviriany]

Hey guys,

Just installed this camera in the last couple of days, am still working out all the finicky bits... But one thing I just cant put up with is the attrocious glare i seem to get in IR mode...

Anyone had this issue before and managed to fix?

TIA - Evi

in the future avoid dome cameras..

Thanks for that mate - I'll re-seat the dome tomorrow and give it a good scrub!

it might be reflecting off another surface...post an image of how its mounted...

Touch hard to do so atm given it's 4am but highly doubt it - It's mounted face-on to my shed, looking out towards the house

yeah but that curved plastic dome is capable of catching light from a side angle and causing this issue.. it could be coming from well out of frame.

Would a streetlight approx ~50m away cause this?

no...

That's the only extra "light" in the area outside of the cars - Will try and get a pic of sorts

whats your daytime shot; it looks like half your image is a wall.. that would be a major problem.

(dear god I hope this isn't huge!)

See the little black arrow

ok that helps, all suspects are now just the dome its self, take it off and the problem will vanish... clean it up really good and make sure that foam ring is firmly seated.

Shall do before work ~12hrs - night shifts are always fun, but it's raining atm so that doesn't help!

Now to work out how to make ivms record - Any guides / "for dummies" things available?
