I have a 4ch zmodo 720p camera system at my home. I have three cameras hooked up and all worked as expected initially. Now one camera lookout out into my backyard is showing all grass (and any other green colors) as white. All other colors seem to be ok if not a little faded. Does anybody know the cause or fix to this? I am new to these cameras and would appreciate the help. I have attached a picture that shows the yard and it looks like it is covered in frost or snow!! Update: Okay so its definitely not a color setting (hue, saturation...). I found out that if I put my hand over the camera and cover it completely and then uncover it the color adjusts back to normal for the rest of the day (I can hear the IR filter click in and out of place...im assuming this is normal). Once night falls it switches to IR and when morning comes the picture shows nice white grass and trees. I have not tried unplugging the Ethernet cable from the NVR system yet and I will try that tomorrow morning. Either way I shouldn't have to constantly reset the camera. Something is not adjusting automatically as it should.

Pointed away from street light and results were the same. Some days it does work fine and others the grass is white. Here is a picture of how I found my camera this morning. I can reset by covering it up but each morning something is off.

I snow your didn't just suggest that! (see what I did there?!) Surely not snow when the picture was taken but now its all snow covered.
