Can you add lights so that headlights will have no effect? JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JD Thanks JD for the reply the headlight are not directly into the camera lens just the reflection on the drive I dont know if I flood that area with IR whether it would cure the problem John.

VST_Man 1 Posted January 9, 2008 more is better..............I always tell my clients that becasue you can adjust or rigg things to overcome natural events and/or headlights and you just might miss something important? the cost of storage is cheap enough for you to allow "more" than not. Yes, there are perfect install ocations but there are times you just need to let'er record. ie: swimming pools are very slow and reflective. I just record 24/7 and add more storage. if anyone in the pool experiences a health issue the camera motion most likely won't pick all of it up. ie: same issue you have...............I let it record on motion but keep my setting tight to capute all. more is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dewalty 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Does your capture card allow for alarm inputs? If so how about a PIR detector attached to that camera's alarm input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
