Only working in dark

Recommended Posts

I have this metal dome camera, only works when the ir are on so night is fine but day all I get is coloured vertical lines down my screen, I can get great picture if I force the ir on by taping the sensor but this means it's always lit

Does anyone know why this would do it or a fix or do I just leave taped permenantly

Something like this?

 

 

I have this problem with distorted picture at daytime. At night it works perfectly. Any suggestions? It got worse since the snow came, so I guess it has something to do with to bright picture or something that triggers the problem.

 

It is a eBay no name IP-camera.

Found it!

It is related to the software I am using, Zoneminder. It has problems decoding h264 streams, switching from ffmpeg to libvlc within Zoneminder did the trick.
