Dome camera installation

[mfb1 0]

Hi,

I have a bullet type camera covering our rear garden. I intend to install a dome camera at the front of our house, installing it under the roof eves. If it was installed on the eves near a bedroom window, would this effect the operationof the camera,or would it need to be away from the window? Thanks

Does the cam have IR ?

Yes, it does have IR, thanks

If it is mounted to the back of the eve ( ie near the wall ) and is looking "out" more than "down" then you are likely to suffer from IR reflection off the eve. A very common problem experienced by the uninitiated.

Ir will also reflect off any glass too .

you will usually see a white haze or fog .

I am going to mount it under the eve away from the window, but pointing downward. Thanks

Hi. Before you buy anything I would look at a turret camera ..... Much better than the old style dome cameras and a lot less problems.

Also look for good IR range

From looking at them I thought a dome would be good over time in the weather, guess you have to get out and clean them once in a while?

Plus you're always seeing through the dome...

 

Something like this:

I think the dome camera will be adequate enough.
