Configuring Night Vision Mini Dome

[Stephen Drake]

Looks interesting. I can certainly leave my porch lights on to help.

Hey Stephen this could be a another option to replace your living room camera. A 2.8mm lens would be fine on this one.

DS-2CD2442FWD-IW is about the size of a alarm motion detector and looks like one too.

I had this same problem with one of my dome cameras.To fix it, I placed a rubber O-ring between the cameras foam rig and the acrylic dome. Doing this meant there has no way for IR light to reflect into the camera lens. The O-ring was the same size as the foam ring.

Thanks for posting this. It describes the issue I have with one of my cameras.

Thanks for that Big tip.

I too was thinking to buy a turret camera, because of this ir reflection issue.
I prefer the compact profile of these dome cameras tho
I've ordered some O-rings, when I have the time, I'll fit them.
The camera in question has enough street light and does not really need night vision.
