Ive just put a colour camera on the outside of my house to watch the garage but now its dark the picture is shit, i had a black and white one and at night the picture was much better, how could i improve the picture on the coloured camera.

 

Does it have infrared illumination ? that could explain why the b&w one was better.

By the way, legally, if any area outside your property is visible by the camera, you should really have a sign warning people that there is a cctv camera. Your neighbours may not be impressed by you recording them go in and out of their houses

As Rudey says. Thats exactly what we did. You can scan the tape really easily.

The B&W ones do work better at night though.

 

i have a colour camera with infra red doobry's that looks out over my boat , quality is quite good tbh , but since i added a security light i can see peoples faces and features perfectly clearly

 

As frog said with the signs and stuff. You can get round this by have a tiny sign, theres no rules on sign size.

Or do what i did and get a lipstick camera (called this because of their shape and size duh!) with infared led's around the lense, made for some good viewing especially as it was poked thru a 1" hole

Had it coming thru the facia board just under the roof edge.
