So I wanted to touch base with some about an issue I see pop up a good number of times..
I will try and tell people that they need to go clean the dome or even at times the lens can need a good cleaning and could cause a IR camera to look bad at night..
So normally this camera is working in Color mode and I have it setup on a Schedule for keeping things looking good for my needs... Problem with today is that I don't hand out Candy on This day and because of that I turn off all my lights and let the camera work on IR... Sadly this IR blaster for the camera in question has a Bad Internal Power supply so I have to use the IR that is on the camera.. I turn on the IR bad IR though the glass.. I think here I can make a Video showing what a Good Glass cleaning can do for people with IR Dome Cameras...
This camera is an Older 751 on Wifi that is over 80feet to my Router.. Normally I have it set on Color and HLC at night...
anyway showing what it looks like without IR on you can clearly see though the glass just can't see great without IR of some sort in its FOV.. When I turn on you can see spots on Glass and I always first tell people when they have the issue to go clean the glass.. Sometimes I get backlash on the offer of advice but I thought ok here is where Pictures aka Video comes into play.. Don't have to take my Word for it Proof is in the Video...
Sorry about the Audio, My good MIC has seen better days and this one is something to get me by for now lol
