Webcam Help?
I am having trouble with getting a web cam set up properly. It is set to watch outside, through a window. During full daylight, the light floods the image and no definition can be seen just completely washed out, but as soon as the light goes a bit (i.e. 7-7.30 pm) all you can see is a very dark almost black square even though its quite light. I have tried messing about with the 'brightness' and 'contrast ' sliders with little or no improvement! Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

i've had the same problem bob, it seems most are set up to work with low light so draw in too much light when pointing outdoors
i'm thinking along the lines of a couple ND filters in front of each camera will sort of sort it.... i have a blue grad ND in front of mine which helps a little.

Thanks for your commentOriginally Posted by Bobinovich
I have it on Auto, and it is a mid range webcam, priced about £18.00. If you have time could you go to www.tugmistress.co.uk and click on Keiss Webcam, and you will see what I mean?

Oo-er see what you mean - very washed out. Is it possibly getting reflection from the window? How close is it to said window? Have you tried a different cam or tried that cam on a different PC to see if the cam is at fauly? Bit difficult to diagnose TBH without seeing the conditions etc.
I'm over in Keiss on Sunday 'bout 3.30 - 4pm if you'd like me to take a look?
