youknowbigt 0 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Hi guys this is my first post so let me start off with by saying HI! I have a geovision 1480 8 Camera PC System, the current system only has 6 cameras hooked up. 3 of the cameras have a acquired a permanent red tint. 3 of the cameras are in perfect running order. this red tint came on over time, the system is 3 years old give or take. i am running the current software 8.3.4. The display setting is at default and changing them does not make any difference. these cameras were once full color cameras (Veilux SVB-60IRC28L3516D) in day and b/w at night. the cameras are in a restaurant/bar environment (Smoke Free). the only real obstacle is the windows in the camera view (only one camera) in the daylight hours. My question is, do you think it would be beneficial to upgrade the cameras that have the problems or just simply replace them with the same model? this is assuming that they in fact the problem. sorry about the length/ grammar kept adding info that i thought would help. Thanks -Tony Edited February 23, 2011 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 22, 2011 Those are true day/night cameras, meaning the have movable IR cut filter... that may not be operating properly. I've also seen sensors fail over time, which exhibits as color shifts in the image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youknowbigt 0 Posted February 23, 2011 thanks for the fast reply, if i get some new cameras the same model is going to a problem in the future as well? or is there a better options out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman Adam 0 Posted February 23, 2011 If you hadn't said smoke-free I was going to suggest you clean the lens! (jk) Maybe a manufacturing or design blunder with this model of camera? Since it has acquired this tint over time there's not much else it could be. I would try out some new cameras. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Oddly enough, I've mostly seen the "red-tint-slowly-over-time" phenomenon on Panasonic cameras (older WV-CP2xx models, mainly). Most of them have been in service and working fine, sometimes for upwards of a decade. In this case, replacing them with other Pannies isn't a concern.
