Uneven lighting on IPC-Color4K-T180

[fergenheimer]

I just started playing with this camera and wondered if there is a way to normalize the lighting on an IPC-Color4K-T180. This is a temporary location so I did not bother to invert the picture. I have spot lights to the right of the camera (left since inverted) so it is brighter. Both sides look great but it is not unusual for the right side lights to start automatically. Anyone know of a way to normalize the pictures so the right camera and left camera look alike? I do not think it will normally be a problem but was just wondering.

I wonder if the strong reflections off the table/metal??? (whatever is in upper left corner) is causing some lens flare on that camera.

Thanks! I had jumped to a conclusion since the spotlights had been on. You are absolutely right! It was sitting on an adjustable ladder in scaffolding mode with a board on it. That is the two wings in the first picture. The problem child was the shiny tag that is on the cable in the second picture. And finally with all the reflections blocked off with a black cloth. There was no discernable difference when it was repositioned even with a flood light behind the tractor canopy.

Full led camera and IR camera all not like have reflecting things nearby the camera, will make pic high washout. Will make the pic lost balance.

I'm just glad you got this resolved, my neck's killing me...

And I can't get my monitor's cable un-twisted.

Of course, I have not figured out how to flip it upside down. I think it is probably that option not showing up in edge or other browser. Also SmartPSS does not show up.

Can you not just physically turn it 180* in the housing?

Yes, It is just temporarily mounted now. When physically mounted, it will be right. Just while I am toying, it would be nice to be right side up. The option is on the camera configuration page on other cameras.

There is no Image Rotation for this camera. I remembered when I was testing it and couldn't find that option on IE also.
