Hi Folks, I'm seeing light streaks at night from street lights, coach lights, car headlights and tail lights.

Anyone else have this issue with the Hikvision DS-2DE4A404IW-DE 4MP ? If so, how did you correct it ?

similar to this example

I recall seeing that at a Pink Floyd concert back in ‘75 but thought it was just the Colombian....

Is that a dash cam? I think it’s just refraction from glare through the window?
Its an example of what i see from the camera.. this is not the actual image taken from my camera, but an example of the streaks i'm seeing from light.

I see that on some cameras after rain and wind sometimes, wipe it down with a wet cloth and it goes away.

Yes an actual image would help.

I will try cleaning the outside of the dome.. I have not opened the inside at all.

Can this be an issue with all plastic dome cameras ?
I would say this... did you just install it and did you just notice it? I would recommend against any dome cameras for use outdoors and in dim conditions.

In my opinion, yes. It's just like lens flare on a SLR camera. but the light is reflecting off of the dome. There may be a combination of setting changes you can change to help make it better, but I am not familiar with what those would be. Turret cameras are a good choice for outdoors and low light condition due to the EXIR and no dome.

those are not PTZ.. i have those as well... Great camera.
Sorry I just saw the PTZ part, my PTZ is a cheap generic chinese 20X IP POE that is said to be "netcat" or an "XM" (Xiongmaitech) type. Very similar to what is pictured in my avatar.
