When the light hits just right....or wrong for security cams

I get the same on 2 cameras here... one in the morning and the other in the evening... they are mounted under soffits... when that's where you want to aim the camera and the sun maybe low in the sky at some point, what can you do? No visor would work for me... just have to live with it for the 20 minutes or so?

Pretty much

Almost looks like a tire superimposed over the camera view. What do you use to connect the cam back to your NVR? You have Cat wire or wireless setup?

Almost looks like a tire superimposed over the camera view.

That's funny, it really does... maybe a 185/60r14 on a steel rim?

I highly doubt Mrs. Bigredfish would allow Mr. Bigredfish to install any wireless cameras!

No its hard wired.

Thats the lens inside reflecting off the dome. Mini-PTZ

How'd you run it under the road or is it in the air?

 

[bigredfish]

No its attached to the house, cable via conduit

I believe I'm correct in saying the cam is viewing a house across the street, from bigredfish's house....that's not his house being viewed.

I think you are correct, I was just thinking about the cam that is on a tree aimed at my house at the time. I'm probably one of the few who has a camera looking at my house.

OK, here's a shot of my summer place from a cam across the road...haven't had time to install one up at "the big house."
<yeah, right >

Probably all that time on the riding mower is taking up all your time.

Here is a PTZ picture from this morning with a view toward the east/southeast. Depending on the time of the year, it can be much worse for a short while.

I just get a thin circular rainbow. I'd like to zoom this camera in more, but then I'd have to angle it to catch more sun.

My neighbors know my cameras at "looking" at their houses... they don't mind. It probably depends on the relationship.

My neighbor, when he was alive, wanted me to point one of my cams at his house. I told him the cams were for my security not his.

My neighbor complains....until something happens at his house or vehicles then he wants to know if my camera caught it...
