I have a turret camera installed under the eave at my house looking into the back yard. The camera has separate lens and IR illuminator glass, with black plastic in between. Here's the camera: http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/en_us/product/979.html At night when the illuminator is on, I get some image washout due to what appears to be reflected light into the lens from the white paint on the eave above the camera. If I hold the camera by hand away from the eave, the glare disappears. Picture of installation: Any tips for reducing this glare?

I have some gaffers tape somewhere, I'll try to dig that up and cover the back of the fascia board to see if that helps. I moved the camera forward by hand, and even with it right up against the fascia, the gutter causes glare. Here's a daytime view. The wall would be an ideal spot for it, but I don't want it there for aesthetics. Do you think painting the area the IR is hitting with flat white paint instead of the semi-gloss that's there would make a difference?

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I did try putting a piece of black vinyl electrical tape on the back of the fascia board, and then a piece of blue painter's tape. Neither seemed to make a difference. I got out a Sony camcorder with a selectable IR cut filter and used it to see where the light is reflecting. It's definitely the underside of the eave and the fascia board. Downspout isn't being illuminated. I could build a bracket to lower the camera, but it'd have to go down a fair amount and I think the aesthetics would suffer. How do those shields on the cameras work without having the same problem as the light reflecting from the underside of the eave? Is there some sort of paint that I can use that won't mess up the look of the eave? Black paint on the back of the fascia I might be okay with, but black paint on the underside of the eave will look like crap.
