Model: VIGI C230  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.0.4 Build 241024 Rel.65619n

I have bought C230I two cameras and both are great, so acidentaly instead of C230I I have ordered C230.

Camera works just fine during the day but during the night with IR enabled, IR gets reflected from dome that everything looks foggy.

I have tried and pointed camera to the center just in case that there is IR relfection from dome  plastic and cleaned dome but still same. 

It only works when dome is removed but I can not keep camera outside like that ...

 

When I turn on Autocolor it works fine and shows colors but I dont want to keep light all night long.

 

Any idea how to solve this as I dont see camera electronic issue here.

  @Clive_A Thanks for your reply.

I did move lens to other directions but that didnt help.

However I have swaped camera wiht one on different position and now works fine... Im really not sure what caused this but it seems IR reflected from something around the camera back to lens. Still can not figureout as other one works just fine.

Thanks please close this case.

Hi @Miro_K 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Are you referring to this as a dome?

 

I think there is no proper way to avoid this if this is an optics issue.

You should consider adjusting the camera lens position.
