todd2 0 Posted November 17, 2009 I've seen equipment damaged from heat from the sun in a hot car, but neglecting heat issues for the moment, will the light from the sun actually permanently destroy a board or bullet camera like it would if you stared at the sun? (I.e., not from the heat, but the light intensity?) I've seen a plastic wireless camera actually melt from heat, but there didn't appear to be any permanent optical element damage, even though the sun was in frame for several minutes.

vin2install 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Not sure if the above post was a question. But if your camera has sun damage to the image sensor than there will be pink spots or streaks where the sun or sun reflection has hit the sensor over a time period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zmxtech 0 Posted November 18, 2009 yes the CCD will be damaged if its stares too much at the sun, I use bullets with Sony ICX404AK sensors these work well for cars. In most cases placement is everything most people make the mistake of half of the picture being the sky ! tilt it down ...Use the cars features as a sun shade.. z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
