Installing CCTV camera behind the glass windows

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

I installed CCTV cameras behind my glass windows, during the day it works fine but in the night nothing visible, even if i come close the camera it shows my shadow only. please note that I don't have option for installation cameras outside. please suggest some thing.

 

Thanks

If the cameras have ir lighting, it probably is reflecting back from the glass. Turn ir lighting off and add outside ir lighting if possible.

Hi, Thanks for the tip, is it possible to do from the DVR or camera? its a Chinese product and I am not sure if it has much options to play around.

 

Thanks

If you can not install anything outside, maybe your best bet is to disable the IR on the camera and just live with night time images without IR? Maybe there is some light from street lamps or similar?

 

If you can not disable the IR LEDs, then maybe use some electrical tape to cover.

 

It's not an ideal solution having to look through a window.
