I'm trying to help my brother set up his Dahua IPC-HDW523R-ZE cameras and so far we are not happy with the picture. I think the major issue may be camera placement but we are looking for tips.
Here is the security light he installed.
Defiant 270 Degree White LED Bluetooth Motion Outdoor Security Light-DFI-5985-WH - The Home Depot
This is with the floodlights on
Here is a picture with the floodlights on and in color mode.

Doesn't seem like in B/W mode the white lights are being picked up.
Not sure if it has something to do with the IR filter?
I forget if white lights are supposed to help at night. @bigredfish any tips. It seems you have reallky good lighting even in B/W mode.
Random chart about security camera I found on the internet.
B/W sharper. Can play with shutter speed but why is there no light on the truck in B/W mode?
Any help is appreciated!
