Cameras are turning whiting out in night mode. replace cam or domes

[Coldair]

have at least 3 cameras that white out when in night mode and the ir lights come on? I tried cleaning the dome but that made no difference at all soI am thinking there it must have to do with the dome itself even if it looks perfect. I saw an old post where they changed the dome but that was 5 years ago.

the 2 worse ones are a DS-2CD2732F-IS and a NSC-278-DMZF1 should I try to fix them or just wait for Andy's sale?

Can you show a sample pic?

How about settings?

Could be the ring has jarred loose and you're seeing IR reflection, or could be a setting issue

Yeah if they’re domes it sure could be IR leakage/reflection

On some domes There’s a foam ring that mates to the dome that if isn’t seated right allows IR to bleed and reflect back off the dome

Worth a look.

the foam is kinda flat, I wonder where I can buy the rings and if anyone sells them as they are a wear item due to the foam collapsing over time

On some of the cams I've come across... the ring slides up and down on the lens end.

This is one of the many reasons to avoid using domes outside.
