Hello,
I just got an outdoor C24 to look over our driveway and approaching road, mounted high above from our upstairs window exterior. In the darkest parts of the night, a halo effect reflection appears.
I understand this is from the IR LEDs and I initially tried to remount it etc to avoid reflections, but last night I dismounted it and just held it into the night with nothing around it, and still had the same effect.
I also held one of our indoor P24 cameras into the night as a comparison (attached pic). Although the P24 has no halo, it has even less definition and is mainly a blur.
I also suspected a C24 hardware fault, but tested it on closer range night scenes, and it was fine (no halo).
The Eufy website mentions night vision to have a range of 3-5 meters.
- Am I therefore expecting too much from the C24 at night?
Perhaps in the absence of light, the lens is trying to be as sensitive as possible and picking up only the IR residual?
Its not too much of a concern, as the requirement is mainly for it to film in day time, plus at night, with any car headlight or triggered security light, the halo dramatically lessens and the detail returns.
I mainly want help in determining whether I have a faulty unit.
