Does anyone know how to get around the blur once the camera rotates next to a wall during night mode?
I have my second camera set up on the edge of the house. In night mode I receive either a total black out or white out if the camera pans near the house.

I don’t have that camera, but is there an option to limit the rotation of the camera so it doesn’t turn all the way towards the brick wall.
It’s the night vision IR lights that are reflecting off the brick wall, if you have enough outdoor lighting you could try turning night vision off so that it will record in color.
I believe you could also have the spotlight turn on too.
Hi JD
Thanks for your advice. The spotlight feature was on. But it has never come on during nighttime. I will turn it off and see how it goes.
Move it farther away from the wall. Or have it rotate less in that direction, though that may affect detection in that area.
Oh–just realized: it detected the person just fine before it turned further to the left to follow the subject. So: try turning off the AI auto tracking (“follow subject”).
I would also, then, AT NIGHT, adjust your calibration/rotation points and/or autocruise settings. Setting the rotation speed to the lowest may give the camera lens a chance to adjust better, too. Limit the maximum leftward rotation to the camera’s position at the start of the video, or possibly a tap or 2 left of the starting position. Doing this at night will help you determine how far you can go without the reflection problem.
You may then be able to turn the AI “follow” option back on so long as it retains the max left position calibration you made.
Good luck. And if these suggestions work, please let us all know by marking this answer “solved.” Thanks!
