Need help with image quality

Post by ITGuy1024 »

Can anyone help me with the image quality on my IP8M-TD2685E-AI? I've tried messing with the settings for hours. Auto, manual, ect. It's either too dark, bright, grainy, smudgy, ect.
I'm wondering if all the grass / green is giving it issues.
The settings I posted are the most clear I could get the picture.

Compared to the Amcrest 720p cameras I had at the old house this doesn't seem much better.

May sound like a silly question, and I apologize if it is, but have you removed the thin plastic protective covering from the lens?

I have indeed removed it before installing.

By what means are you viewing the camera? And have you tried h.264?

Directly from the camera webpage, Amcrest Surveillance Pro installed on Windows, and the Amcrest App on Android.

I did try h.264 and all in between.

You may simply be lacking the processing and display horsepower to adequately render 4K.

Additional details would be required to assess that.

The Quick Reply feature doesn't seem to be working for me. Apologies for any duplicate posts when I go to the Full Editor which does seem to work normally now.

Cut down the red tree and your video issues goes away...

Jokes aside, the issue is that your camera is trying to focus on something that isn't in the right area for your view. So something you might want to try. If your camera has ROI setup the area where you want the camera to be best focused at. Keep in mind that doing so will or can remove the other area out of the picture all together. I mean like some cameras have a few ROI frames and others offer only 1. Then there are the ones that offer none and if that is the case that tree is the issue. This is my guess..
Here to help the best I can.
