Camera glare at night
This can occur if something is blocking the camera’s field of view. If an object, wall,
or tabletop is within 2.5 inches (6.4 centimeters) of the sides or front of your
camera, that object can reflect infrared (IR) light back into the camera lens and
cause glare or hazy video, especially at night. These images show positioning errors
that can cause glare and foggy night vision:
If you use a skin with your camera, and the edges of the camera skin stick out far
enough, they can reflect IR back into the camera lens and cause glare. This is more
likely to occur with the Arlo Pro black hooded camera skin (VMA4200B).
