Title: Focus through/past window screen?
Post by: Scwtech on May 11, 2017, 06:55:35 AM

I am generally happy with this camera but I have it on a windowsill pointing outside to my patio and it's focusing on the window screen, not the patio. Any advice on how to achieve this? I've included a photo to show what I'm seeing. Thanks!

There should be a focus ring on the front of the camera. Look for a little rubber piece circular around the lens.

Other than that I doubt you will have much luck behind that screen

• What Hardware version is your DCS? Look at the sticker behind or under the camera.
• Link>What Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the DCSs web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Any status on this?  ???
