My outdoor Arlo camera takes foggy or hazy video at night; what do I do?
Last updated: 08.01.2025
If your Arlo camera is taking foggy or hazy videos at night or in low-light environments:
- Check for reflective objects, walls, or windows at the edge of the camera’s field of view, or just outside the field of view.
- Reflective surfaces can reflect the infrared LEDs back into frame, overwhelming Arlo camera IR sensors.
- Remove the reflective objects or change your camera position.

- Check for other devices emitting infrared.
- Other cameras, motion sensors, or other devices emitting infrared can interfere with Arlo camera IR sensors.
- Check your camera skin.
- Medium-colored or light-colored hooded camera skins can cause reflections that interfere with your camera’s IR sensors.
- If your camera has a medium-colored or light-colored, hooded skin on it, remove the camera skin or use a black camera skin or non-hooded skin instead.
