Night time recording

I just spent nearly 2 grand on Reolink. I'm curious as to why we are not able to adjust the shutter speeds, f-stops, etc so we can film better at night. Isn't most crime happening at night? What is with the ghosting effect? I just installed a 3400-lumen flood light to help light up the scene.

@robert-womack_614401045745765 Not all the models have this setting. Check if you have exposure under Display. If you do then set it to manual and you can adjust the shutter speed. If the camera is close enough to a wall/eave or other reflective surface, it can cause the IR to bounce off nearby surfaces then reflect back into the camera lens and subsequently to the sensor. Carefully test what is the optimal position to install IR illuminator. In the best-case scenario, they should be in parallel to the cam.
