Considerations for Infrared (IR) Lights
Environmental factors can limit the performance of night vision using IR
illuminator lights. Infrared light behaves the same as visible light and will
reflect off of bright or shiny objects and overexpose the image. The
camera will adjust to properly expose the bright areas of the image,
which may leave the dark areas obscured.
For best IR Night Vision performance:
Be aware of surfaces that can cause IR light to reflect back into the
camera.
•
Reflective (shiny) or light colored surfaces and objects close to the
camera can reflect IR light back into the camera.
Remove the reflective (shiny) or light colored surfaces and
o
objects or reposition the camera away from these objects.
•
Mounting the camera directly to light colored or shiny soffits (white
aluminum, for example) can reflect IR light back into the camera.
Reposition the lens so the IR lights aren't pointed at the
o
soffit.
Cover the reflecting surfaces with non-reflective surface
o
(non-reflective tape, dark paint)
Mount the camera on a nearby wall using a mounting
o
bracket.
Note:
Do not use solvents, paper towels, newspaper, or other rough
materials to clean the lens cover. This can scratch the lens
cover and cause IR distortion
