January 8, 200818 yr comment_187851 Hi, My camera at the front door of my house gives a rubbish image. It is a cheap IR thing which i used at my old house with no problems. Now the image is just like a whitewash (see attached) Any ideas? (there is a garage door immediately to the right of the image and a car bonnet immediately to the left) could it be the reflection from the ir's?)
