QC444 1 Posted April 20, 2013 This particular camera seems to be incapable of dealing with bright light. There is a glass patio door to the right of the table (lower right corner of the photo) and sunlight is on the floor where the Cyan wash out occurs. It will not adjust out with the DVR settings and other cameras do not have this issue. The seller of the camera said they think the power supply may be inadequate. Is this just the characteristic of a bad / cheap camera? Could it be the power supply? It is a 600TVL camera CMOS (And yes, we have cats and love them dearly) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kawboy12R 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Is this just the characteristic of a bad / cheap camera? Yes. Could it be the power supply? It is a 600TVL camera CMOS Doubt it very much. Look to me like a cheap cam with low dynamic range and inaccurate white balance in the sunlit area. If the cam has an OSD, you might improve things a bit by matching the exposure to the right side of the screen, although that'll probably darken down the unsunlit areas to the point of uselessness. The cats are actually improving the picture. Try adding more cats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aibudo 0 Posted April 20, 2013 Looks like a $15 to $25 camera. The video is typical of a CMOS unit with no electronics compensation at all. Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted April 20, 2013 I have read (but am yet to see it) that there has been a huge improvement in cmos cameras over recent years. I don't think this is one of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
