Let’s call the 2 cameras A and B. They are not part of a “cctv system”.

Yes, they are made by the same company, but they are 2 distinct units.

Yet, when you push the remote for cam A, it sometimes activates cam B. And sometimes, vice versa.

  1. Any solutions to eliminate this type of crazy interference?

  2. I tried searching, but wasn’t able to find specific subs that discuss remote control sensors. Any suggestions for suitable subs, to discuss this issue?

    Are these IR remotes, like for a TV? Id be surprised if they have any form of channels or isolation, so if the signals are the same, i dont think you can really do anything about it.

    One potential workaround would be arranging your cameras in such a way where the remotes signals can really only be picked up by one camera.

    Alternatively, since this is home automation, maybe slap a tiny IR blaster in front of each cameras sensor, and program something to control eqxh separately. I think there are a bunch of programs out there that can capture and replicate IR signals
