We have a camera installation where the camera monitor believes the images are gradually getting darker, especially during the evening hours. We have tried to remedy the dark image in the evening by switching all cameras at that installation from a day schedule to an auto schedule. This resulted in a undesirable black/white image in the evening since it may be necessary to identify clothing, coloring, etc.
Is anyone aware of image darkening issues with this camera or how we might lighten the image that is transmitted while maintaining an optimal bandwidth? There are 27 cameras at this installation to consider.
Please share any strategies that you have implemented resulting in optimal nighttime images for any camera model or type regardless of manufacturer.
Thank you,
