    Inverted reflection

    Ah gotcha. Yeah - looking at the front, I can just set something in there.

    That's... Very interesting - thanks for that! LOL So I can TRY a polarizing filter, but basically - drop the gain, tweak the pic, and deal with it, which is exactly what I'm going to have to do.

    Shallow - you mean very close to the camera lens itself?

    Do you know what KIND you got? Apparently (who knew?) there are a whole BUNCH of different kinds!!

    Inverted reflection

    I THINK I can live with this... The reflection is actually not as bad in the actual video - can't really see it. I don't care for the "squared off" look the gain gives, and some of the color separation kind of runs together, but if this is my only option - I'll have to live with it!

    I spoke too soon! Changed it to "DAY" and found the gain slider. Cranked it down, it DID eliminate the reflection, but... I'll have to play with the other settings to get it so it looks nice again. I'll post a pic if/when I get it looking good. Thanks for the hint though!

    I do not see a way to change the iris setting or gain, no. Heh, I had no idea about the sensor size! Got a camera recommendation for my purposes? I just want a nice clear look at my lights!

    Inverted reflection

    Heh, well, that does suck. I had to build a box to mount under my mailbox - it's aimed up at the house and I don't see how I COULD change the angle. Darn. Any other angle and I won't be aimed at the house. Am I screwed with this? Should I try a different TYPE of camera, like a dome, maybe?

    I just got my DS-2CD2087G2-L from Amazon renewed, which ships from HIKVISION AUTHORIZED REFURB OUTLET. I bought it just to look at my house decoration lights! LOL Yes, don't laugh, otherwise I'd only see the lights if I went somewhere and came home after dark! ANYWAY - I got the camera...

    Oh look, another "help me find a camera" thread

    I will! Right now the camera is aimed at my basement ceiling until Wednesday, when I can get my ladder back from a friend and mount the camera in position! But - then I will!
