Foscam Clone IP Camera - doesn't work in daylight

[angels12 0]

I would be very grateful for some guidance.

 

I recently purchased an inexpensive Foscam clone IP camera (called the "All-In-One IP/Network Camera" on the box - no specific manufacturer but obviously made in China) which works very well indoors and in the dark using IR.

 

However, in daylight the screen goes completely white and it is not possible to see any detail of the scene at all. At dusk, the camera does capture the scene faintly in light purple. As it gets dark the picture improves considerably.

 

I have attached a snapshot of the camera and a screenshot of the view at dusk in the evening.

 

I have ensured the camera setting are set to "outdoor" but this does not help. I have also tried to manually adjust the brightness, which again does not help.

 

I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get the camera to work effectively in normal daylight

 

Thanks
