I am new to security cameras and to these forums.
I recently purchased a dome camera (HIKVision DS-2CD2732F) for the front exterior of my house. It seems to work great during the day but when the IR comes on at night, it causes much of the image to be fogged. I talked to a more experienced friend and he said "that is a problem on all dome cameras, there is no fix for that, you will need an external illuminator". My question is why does my camera come with IR illuminators if they are so problematic?
I don't really want another device on the front of my house - any ideas for solving this issue would be appreciated.
thanks,
bruce
