So I'm having IR bounceback issues with my 3.6mm 5442 again. Went out and cleaned the lens cover and noticed that there are what appear to be a bunch of white pain flecks inside. What is the best way to remove the lens cover? Do I need to disassemble the camera completely, or can I pop the lens...

I like that one, small and compact. That's a fucking cannon, holy shit. Do you run 12v over the 18 gauge wire, or do you have an adapter on the end? My concern is voltage drop over some of the distances I'm looking at.

I really would like to add auxiliary IR illumination. I was considering POE illumination, but they all pull a ton of power. My switch can do 195 watts total POE supply, currently using 25 watts with 6 cameras connected. I might see what I can do. Maybe I'll just run a separate 12v power supply...

Thanks for the help. Hopefully these don't accumulate a lot of crap on them. I can imagine a dome camera.

Shutter is between 0-8.3 and gain is between 0-50, although I can turn it down to 30 and not get any degradation in illumination performance. I cleaned the lenses of both cameras. The one on the right had a fingerprint smudge on it. I don't know how to remove the faceplate, but it seems...

I'll check that now.

Even if I set IR to auto, it still blows it out like this. If I enable Smart IR, it crushes the entire picture, no matter how much I change exposure settings. Smart IR on

Here it is later at night. The IR you see if from a camera that is mounted behind and to the left of what you are seeing, with the ir being cut off by a wall. Illuminator: 0 Illuminator: 50 Illuminator: 100 Navy blue towel, and globe removed Different towel, globe removed. All...

Okay. Here is when it switches right after dusk with no IR illuminator. Illuminator set to 50 I'm going to see what it looks like as it gets darker and post more pictures, but it definitely seems like a bounceback issue.

I'll have to get that tonight. These are daytime shots. 2.8mm 3.6mm Once again, both are at the same settings. The daytime view doesn't look that different, so not sure if it's a sensor issue. I can pull the camera down and move it to a different spot with no other IR to see exactly...

Moving the camera does not change the image. I thought maybe it was from my neighbors lights. I thought we wanted Smart IR off? I haven't tried the 2.8mm yet for face washout, but the idea is for the camera to reduce shutter/gain, seeing as it can do that faster than the IR. I've had this...

Hey all, I'm trying to tune night settings for my cameras. Currently I have a 5442 2.8mm, and a 5442 3.6mm. They are placed roughly ten feet apart. The 3.6mm one is giving me a washed out image. Both cameras are on the same firmware, and have the same settings applied. I've tried messing with...

Ah, I was looking at the post date.

That's older than what is on my cameras, so it may possibly brick it, no?

Yea I looked at that post, both of my cameras are running firmwares newer than that. I'm not sure if it will let me downgrade them. I DO want them all on the same firmware. I don't feel like spending hours going through the UI and disabling all the inbuilt garbage on every camera. Yes, they are...
