    Have you tried adjusting the back focus? Most cameras today come setup but if something has happened it could have knocked it out of whack.

     

     

     

    Hi all I recently purchased a PTZ camera from an online retailer, cost just a little over £150 so not expensive at all. It's 1080p AHD/TVI switchable with PTZ and 10x zoom, with not a bad picture. The camera is ok most of the time but it's problem is that it can and does go out of focus at night if a cars headlights lights pass in the vicinity it is focussed in, and the camera may stay unfocussed for hours or it might only be for minutes but it's a lot longer that I would expect. The same focusing problem can occur in daylight if a car passes in the line of the camera (no headlights in daytime though), it can throw the camera out of focus and the complete picture becomes a blur, this can last for a few moments, a few minutes or it can stay unfocussed until another car passes and re sets the focus. I have switched the camera to manual focus so it does not keep altering focus but it automatically switches to autofocus as soon as I try to adjust the focus manually. Even though in the menu is says manual focus it just stays on autofocus. Unfortunately I'm having to return the camera because of the focus issues but would still like to have a PTZ with around a 10x zoom.

     

    Has anyone got any suggestions for a 1080p-3megapixel PTZ with 10 optical zoom that works on a AHD or TVI DVR? My system has PELCO-D PELCO-C and PELCO-P. I'm probably going to upgrade my complete system on a few months so don't want to pay a fortune but would like a camera that works. Any suggestions?

     

    Cheers in advance.
