Smart Camera "Night Vision" is Blurry

4.5

The daytime image is clear, but at night the image is foggy or has a white glare.

Symptoms
  • Foggy image
  • White glare
  • No detail at night
Possible Causes
  • IR reflection from glass
  • Spider webs
  • Dirty lens

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Clean the Lens

Wipe away any dust or fingerprints from the camera face.

2

Check for Reflections

If the camera is behind a window, the IR lights will reflect off the glass. Move it outside.

3

Remove Spider Webs

Spiders love the warmth of IR lights; a single web will cause a massive glare.

When to See a Technician

If your camera is behind glass, you MUST turn off the internal IR lights and use an external IR illuminator.
