Patio light causing night vision not to work

Djjeffa — Mon, 02 Dec 2019 00:35:40 GMT

The night vision worked when I had the original arlo wireless camera but now that I have the pro2 the night vision won't work with the patio light and its not even that bright but i need to leave the light on because its a public pavement and needs to stay lit. Any advice on a work around?

A workaround could be to place a small piece of plastic near the light to prevent the bright light from interfering with the camera's exposure. The idea would be to block the light specifically aimed at the camera so a large baffle wouldn't be needed. If the light is inside a fixture, you could tape it to the glass. If it's a bar bulb, you could affix it with an appropriate adhesive or tape to the bulb itself.

Thanks but if I do that it will block the light where I need it.

Then repositioning the camera is your solution.

That not a solution either because the light is for my front step. If i reposition it won't see the step. The solution would be for arlo to fix it there old camera worked fine.
