redisol 0 Posted January 13, 2011 I used to have a fairly usable video from my camera pointing at the gate until the government installed a very bright lamp post just outside the gate. Now, my camera is almost blind at night and all I can see is a blob of bright light. I tried to adjust the brightness settings but this doesn't seem to help. Is there a way to correct this? Would a camera with auto iris help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted January 13, 2011 What you need is a WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) camera. These cameras can handle wide brightness differences. Others can suggest specific models, as I have none... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted January 13, 2011 Or save yourself some money and eliminate the problem by re-positioning the camera if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted January 13, 2011 A more expensive camera may help, better light handling with or without Auto Iris, though ofcourse if going that route get one with Auto Iris. Dont necessarily need WDR though. What are the specs of the camera you have now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redisol 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks. I don't remember the actual specs but it's one of those generic type with Sharp CCD which looks similar to this: Anyway, I managed to improve the video somehow by removing the front glass housing and tilting it downwards a little. The glare is still there but it's not as bad as before. At least I can now view the parts without the glare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
