How to Deal with Security Camera IR Glare & Light Reflection

When an outdoor-mounted security camera is facing reflective surfaces such as ponds of water, glass panels, or car windows, it can cause lens glare and obstruct viewing.

Similarly, when the camera is placed inside the house, the window can cause obscurity or whiteout on your image.

Solutions:

To avoid these issues, place your front door or back door security camera outside your house to achieve better viewing.

Additionally, it’s advisable to adjust your outdoor surveillance camera’s viewing angle or avoid reflective objects to prevent light reflection and infrared flare.

Check out these additional tips for using security cameras through glass or glass windows, such as using anti-glare film for windows, utilizing external IR illuminators, or placing it on the window sill.
