    can my setting be better for night time recording? (DS-2DE3304W-DE)

    (lower right corner) 40 is DS-2DE3304W-DE 41 is DS-2CD2155FWD-I same setting on both, latest firmware on both, it's nice to have the 2155 converted from 5mp to 6mp! i'm impressed by this DS-2DE3304W-DE, still inside so IR led is off on the other one, reflection is a thing :smash:
