Hi guys,

Anyone any ideas as to what's going on with these 2 cameras.

Hikvision kit. Picture was great 1st night, but tonight it's gone weird.

Picture during the day is fine.

Don't do much cctv, but this has me confused. I have removed the plastic from in front of the lenses before anyone asks.

Cameras are on opposite ends of the driveway. Front and rear cameras fine. Just these 2 side ones.


Thanks in advance

Have you cleaned the actual camera lens?
The middle picture looks like water (rain) has dried on the lens, the end picture looks like it is pointing too close to the wall on the left, and the IR light is bouncing off the wall.
Oh, did I mention cobwebs? IR light bounces off giving a terrible picture (You don't want any cobwebs near the camera.)
