Because there is bright sunlight, the video doorbell camera makes the person at the door so dark, that we can’t see who it is. Is there a doorbell camera out there that does not do this? On American Funniest Videos the pictures are always nice and clear. I want to replace ours with one that works with backlighting issues.
Competition with the brightness of the sun has always been a problem.
Had a similar lighting issue especially during sunset. Ended up buying a cheap battery powered, motion activated spotlight with high sensitivity. Adjust sensitivity/positioning to light up people before they approach the door. Not the most elegant solution, but does the job.
You could also opt for a separate camera positioned at a different angle, away from the sun. Doesn’t hurt to have redundancy, and a second device that can send notification.
