They don't. Its a surveillance camera. It automatically resets.

Being a camera person, and having shot much video in both dark and full sun conditions, with a variety of cameras, there is no "lense effect" I have ever seen that replicates the effect we are seeing here.

In my opinion, it is a filter effect that has been added by the creators by for the purpose of identifing a specific character or class of characters who are behind the camera. This character (or class of characters) is definitely with the order (hence the "eye" effect), and the references to THE ORDER in the video descriptions. Pure and simple, it is a special effect to generate a plot device.

When the camera hits the ground, it is this filter that breaks, not the camera lense. When the filter breaks, the "eye" effect disappeears, simply because the filter no longer treats light in such a way as to create the effect.

I have this downloaded on my computer, and have analyzed it frame by frame.

Perhaps I'm blind, but all I see is legs and alot of artifacting of terrain from the video being compressed. What are we supposed to see? The hood from the camera?
