Night video is reflecting the window &amp; showing the camera vs the outside. No problems w/ day vision behind window. Anyway to fix pix night video pix?

No, not really... Your problem is that the night vision light used on the Belkin is turning the glass its pointed to seem like a mirror since the background is black and the only open source of light is the night vision, so its reflecting the light/image right back into the belkin, so now it only captures the reflection of the Belkin... One idea would be to use some type of anti reflecting spray. You will find it an at automotive store, this could help...

Thats what I do with 2 of them. Be sure to remove anything that would cause glare on the window itself. Put a curtain over it and turn off the LED light. Camera looks through it like looking through glass!

It would be awesome to see a Proof in this. Could you perhaps make some good quality Cam Pictures form the Side(s) with your non IPS Panel?Its the same Issue in Europe with IPS / VA Panels mixeup.Thx a Million :)

I'm not sure what the pixels are I would have to check when I'm at home. I will tell you that the camera I got, the picture is clear and you can see well at night. It is comparable to what I have seen in other vehicles. The down side though is that it doesn't have a compass. I had mine installed and I took it back after I had it installed and the guy who put it in looked over the specs and said that he thought it might have had one but what he thought could have been the wire for the compass was a wire for the outside mirrors. I like the camera but I was a little disappointed that I lost my compass. I'm not sure what the pixels are I would have to check when I'm at home.

During the day it will work, but there might be some reflection depending on the angle and amount of light inside. At night the infrared light will reflect back to the camera and give you glare and it will be impossible to see any thing outside. You can tape over the infrared lights and then put a separate infrared light outside if needed.

It depends on the camera's proximity and position to the window. In short: the window's glass might reflect the camera's IR lights, generating a glare that will range from insignificant to completely blown out.If you *really* need reliable outdoor surveillance, consider one of the outdoor models like SCNC3905 or SCNC3805.

Yes if left in the day position only. The night camera light will glare off the window and block vision. Also sun glare can affect camera sight. Howeverthe camera will work through glass during the day and at night if outside is well lit.

There is probably either too much ambient light in the room or the IR Leds are reflecting off some nearby surface and fooling the light sensor into thinking there is plenty of light in the room (thus turning off the IR Leds). You could try placing a bit of tape or something semi-transparent over the light sensor and see if that helps. Or as a quick test, while it's flickering, place your finger over the sensor and see if the IR Leds stay on (night vision mode). If it's too close to some surface, move it further away. If those suggestions don't work, the camera may be defective.

I set one up this way when first testing new unit. It works OK in daylight, if there are no reflections from the glass. No good at all after dark, as the ir lights from the camera are always reflected and cannot illuminate the subject.

Hello Tyler.I bought the same sysrtem and the cameras are making loud noises when triggering to Night mode and day mode at dusk and down. That is not a defect, is simply cheap materials used on them to make em less expensive.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

The little camera automatically goes the night vision But the main camera I cannot find out where to turn it off for night vision or in any of the other switches or seem not to work But maybe one day I can figure this out myself the instruction booklet was not too helpful

Go to the camera menu and then to settings. Maybe the brightness and contrast are too high. If not is not fixing it I would call Swann tech support at 1800 627-2799. they are open 24/7. If they can not fix it they will replace it if is still within warranty. Good luck

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

Don't know if there's a fix(?). Mine has a very clear picture,better than most I've seen.

It will work in a window during the day but once the infrared lights turn on for the night vision once it gets dark out the picture will become a big white blur from the reflection of the night vision lights shining back at the camera lens. Hope this answers your question.
