Then how come all other 7 of this same model, installed at the same location have no problems? is it just a bad cam, or is it a wrong setting?

Bad cam or lens, lens is built on board so ..

Check:

The Dome cover has no scratches?
The Dome cover is not dirty?
The lens is not dirty?

Whenever I have an Issue I cant straight off fix, I take the camera down and test it at my location for a couple days, or within time to make sure there is or is not any problem with it. But its alot harder just to replace a camera down here.

Why not swap the camera out with one that is working perfectly & see if you move the problem to the new position.
What is the image like in the day?

The image is almost all white during the day. I think that I'm just going to swap the camera out.

my guess would be the auto iris is malfunctioning

I would agree with Griffin, unless it is a full body camera and someone either turned up the level too high or failed to do a Back Focus (My Guess)
