Here is a screenshot of the cameras mode set to "day" and the IR light set to "off"

here is the same scenario, but with the garage lights on: http://screencast.com/t/ZkgNaIQTBx
You can see around the edge especially on the right side, a lot of color distortion.

It must be an issue with the IR light control because the halo only appears when it is on.

Thanks again. I'll forward these links as well.

Thank you for your assistance. Do you think we will hear back within 2 weeks? I believe I have 14 days to return any defective products to NewEgg.

Both cameras, in different places have the same issue. There is a halo effect that circles the outside of the frame, almost like a fish eye.

Can you provide one image with that halo effect from your second DCS-2210?

Unfortunately, I can't make any promises, but I'll mention that in my email.

Here is the other camera inside my house: http://screencast.com/t/eGsSVMVXPha

Yesterday I swapped the garage camera with the inside camera to see what would happen and both cameras still experienced the same issue.

Thanks. . . I amended my email to include the new image.

Also, no matter how I place the camera or move it around, the halo stays in the exact same position, so it doesn't seem to be a reflection.

I've seen that too on a 2230 I have.
Put the camera image quality in low noise.

Are there any LEDs illuminated on the camera?  Maybe they're reflecting inside the housing and onto the sensor assembly.  The LEDs can be turned off for testing.

Or perhaps there is a gap between the IR cut filter and sensor that is allowing internal infrared (from hot components) to leak in.

Interesting idea on the ir bleed. To me it almost looks like a mold or something on the filter.
