Hello Tobias
I did try what you suggested and it worked, although the picture still has a very high contrast.
Thank you

Could it be that you have "APP_CFLAGS += -DCOLOR_IMAGE" defined?

Hi
I have tried
# APP_CFLAGS += - DCOLOR_IMAGE
and
APP_CFLAGS += - DCOLOR_IMAGE
and I get the same results.

Is the high contrast also there when running the wifi camera example? Do you think it could be a problem with the camera lens or similar?

Hello Tobias
Yes the high contrast is present when running the wifi streamer as well, I was thinking that it might be a problem with the lens. It just doesn’t seem to adjust to the light, I let it run for a few minutes and it doesn’t change.

Hi!

It might indeed be a hardware problem. What you can also try is to place your hand over the camera, and while doing that start the AIdeck up and see if it is able to auto correct itself.

If this all doesn't work, please send us an email at contact_at_bitcraze.io in order to arrange an replacement.

Hello
I tried your suggestion and put my hand in front of camera and run the wifi example but the problem persists. I will send email to bitcraze.
