Currently working on a bid for a club. They have black lights, disco balls, and lots of other flashing and rotating lights. Will this change anything with the selection of the cameras. I had planned on selecting a camera with low lux and disabling the camera from going into night mode. Anyone have experience with this type of install?

Picking The Right Camera For Entertainment Lighting

Jun 25, 2017Funny, my gut was "both". You're going to need both I think to really deal with the huge variances in light. A huge key will be keeping lights from shining directly into the cameras as well, because fast-moving, direct lights from all directions will wreak havoc.

Watch this video below where turning on an IR illuminator significantly helps eliminate issues with strobe lights (it's a few years old but the principles remain):
