Just to eliminate any confusion up front, I am not experiencing IR reflection issues right now because I have not installed any Dahua turrets yet! I just want to make sure I do it right when I do.
Question is, as long as an object which could cause IR reflection issues is not within the camera picture, will it still cause IR problems at night? Another words, I plan on installing some Dahua turrets under my outside soffit (I know this may be too high for optimal view, but they either go there or nowhere according to the wife). The soffit is a Hardie soffit and the outside lip sticks down a bit further than some soffits, maybe about 1.5". I'm pretty sure I can mount the camera directly there (without J-box) without the lip getting in the picture at all, but will that still cause IR issues? If so, would it help to paint the inside of the lip right there matte black, or apply matte black vinyl to it? I suppose I could run some testing first with a mock up, but thought someone might have some experience.
Thanks for the input!
