bobwells Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Installed a dome camera sideways on a wall outside and it's fine. The only trouble is that in the late evening when the sun's very low, it just catches it at an angle and the reflection affects the picture for about 20 minutes. I can't really move it because it's on the wall going down the steps to a basement flat and they want to see faces rather than the top of heads. any hints or tips for cutting down relections on domes?

arfur mo Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 hi, if the reflection is from another surface could be ricky unless you can reposition. if the problem is off the dome's construction perhaps fashion a sunshade out of something like black gutter, failing that you could you swap it out for a bracketed small camera. hard to say for sure witout seeing the location, can you post any phone pics of location and amy images frokm the camera? regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

bobwells Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 how longs it been doing it ? It's not been up long and it didn't show up in all the bad weather. Not until the sun came back and just as it's going below the horizon. It's a fine picture at all other times. Upon reflection (pardon the pun) It's a daft question really. I was just hoping that somebody would say: 'Yes you just spray it with ? ? ?' or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anguscanplay Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 yeah - another couple of weeks and it`ll probably not be an issue as the days get longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutech Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Have had good results on using heavy tinted film on the dome covers, use a heat gun to help soften it, got a guy from a tint company to do 6 for me. Had no choice on 1 install where another company had done 1st fix and had put very little thought into siteing and customer requirements but was all a bit late when building was finished beyond re-routing cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
