hi all I have been reading some of the postings and I need a bit of help with my cctv system, I have a 4cam system using a killer 4 channel dvr with a 1GB SAMSUNG HD istalled, 2 cams are of the bullet type with 48led and 480tvl sony ccd the others are ebay dome cams 420 tvl with 24 ir led , the problems is the dome ebay ones they give off a foggy picture at night and are basicly useless at night is there any way to rectify this,and is it the ir,s thats causing the problem ,would unpluging the ir board inside the cam have any effect, as we have a street light right where the cams are and maybe I dont need the ir's on, would the cam still work ok , cheers all

hopefully it will let me post at least the linkon the next posting

I will post pics soon cant do anything on here tried to add them but ftp failed then tried to linki them to 4shared , not enought posts !!! to post link

I dont think its to do with focus as the image I can see is foggy but focused there are patches that you can see in the image that are focused but mainly its a foggy apearance I will try and get some images of the dvr and post them to let you see what I am seeing. thanks for all your help I feel I have opened up a can of worms on my 1st post !

I have set the focus in daylight and the image is clear its hard to do as you have to strip the unit down so you can acces the cam lens, the image at night does go B/W and this is when I get a foggy picture it looks like the lens has got marks of fog as like a refection,the cam body is white to go with the canopy its underneath may be this may be interfering with the spread of the ir's and refecting back to the lens I will try and put some black psu tape around the encloser of the dome to see if the housing is relecting ir light back to the lens.
