Camera image gone un-viewable, are my cameras just rubbish?

Post by moorsey »

Hey all,

My camera images have recently gone virtually un-watchable, well all but one which if perfect. It also gets a good image at night where as the others do not at all.

I just wanted people opinions as to if this was just a carp camera issue, or a ZM one, which I guess is unlikely

This is how internal cameras eg webcams eventualy go when subjected to full external sunlight. It looks like they don't have an auto iris in the lens and that the CCD has been damaged.

Quite a cool site actually, one for the favs!

Thanks for the info Keith, that would explain things. They were billed as outdoor cameras, but cheap China made ones off eBay, so maybe not of the best design!

I think I will get some more from a "decent" UK outlet, any suggestions for UK stores appreciated

Cheers
