Existing Lamps / Lights Disrupting Low Light Scenes

WDR?

Which manufacturer's camera?

Serge, when you say "that a big part of the image is gone", do you mean the image is gone because its 'white' / overexposed or that its dark / in shadows.

I think we have a recent discussion that features a similar, though not exact issue. Here is his scene:

In yours, though the light source is closer but the outcome is similar in that other parts are now captured more darkly. Is that roughly correct? Do you have an image?

As Jay said, knowing what model you are using would help. Any picture you can share of the video?

It is a HIKVISION Turbo HD camera. The light is so bright that it lights up the image on half of the screen just like the headlights of a car would shine in your eyes, taking away the sight.

In low light tonight I can make a screen shot.

John I have read that discussion but this is a different problem, my image on the right side is half gone due to the bright light of the lamp that is only a couple of meters away on the right wall.

You could try adjusting exposure on the camera. You can do so via the up the coax controls (should look similar to the video below). Try 1/60 of a second and see what effect it has. 1/120 may work as well if the scene if fairly well lit at night but beyond that, based on our past experience, the image will likely darken significantly and you'll lose detail.

Here is an overview of how up the coax control worked in our test:

Hi Ethan, I will try that. Just made some screen shots and the options I now have for remote adjusting. The cam summer course now comes in handy more quick than expected, but it's still hard understanding and adjusting all the settings :)
