Lamp shines into cams lens at night

[lovebuine]

I have several Foscam G4 they works very good infrared and color mode in evening.
but I have several lamps that shines into my cams, I read that electric tape can do the trick with
those lamps who have metal also.
but I have 2 lamsp with a big glass bowl, what can i put over that glass, so it wont shine so much into the lens?

I'd use opaque paper or cardboard to temporaily block the light, maybe from inside the bowl and once you get it the way you want it (the most glare blocked but with the most output possible). mark the cardboard limits with a Sharpie then mask off the area inside the bowl to NOT be painted and spray the INSIDE of the bowl with hi-temp black spray paint made for BBQ grills.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying .

You only apply paint to the portion that provides the glare into the camrera. Otherwise, you have a decision to make: move the lamp or the camera or put a shield near the camera. I would think you'd want the least obtrusive and ugly solution.
