This sounds like a blatant attempt to cover up the overall crappy nature of this product. DO NOT BUY!

Unclear question really. This is a great camera, especially for the price. Excellent resolution. The screen moves in junction with the holder to every position. The reference to quit working below, was just because the memory card got full and did not start to record over. I just erased the card and it hasn't quit yet. I plan on buyiong more for my other vehicles.

Not sure since I sent it back. I remember it was also very flimsy even before it quit working. Not sure they will let me post a link, but after reading this article I was better informed(http://dashcamtalk.com/category/dashcamreviews/). I ended purchasing from another vendor. Would have used Amazon if they had the model I was looking for. If Amazon deletes the link, just search google "dash camera reviews".

No IR/Night Vision. Camera is 720p HDTV 30fps. I've used these for a while and they are awesome. The DVR software is free to download. The only caveat is no night IR but with outside motion lights it hasn't been an issue. Check them out at Www.ubnt.com

The night vision works great 18 leds, I bought a cheap camera on ebay for $18.99 with 36 leds and it really gives about 90 feet vision the ones that came with the dvr are about 60 feet. They work best if the led night lights are bouncing off things in the dark like a wall or a building, But if someone does walk by it will light em up big time. Also get the next dvr model up for it has a nice HdmiAnd the alert buzzer works great ELEC CVD 2008H on your model the sofwear shows a alert tab but its not supported by the dvr.Hope this helps look at ptz cameras on u tube also to see how well they work.Good Luck The night vision works great 18 leds, I bought a cheap camera on ebay for $18.99 with 36 leds and it really gives about 90 feet vision the ones that came with the dvr are about 60 feet.

Those settings are definitely for a dark room or movie viewing experience. Keep in mind these are baseline settings and will vary from set to set and also on the room your tv is located in. For best results maybe check out the DVE digital video essentials calibration disk which I think is 20 bucks or so here on amazon. Maybe not quite as good as a professional calibration but darn close especially for us normal viewers.

I am not using the HDD in question, I am using a Seagate SV35 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6-Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive for Video Surveillance ST1000VX000 in a security camera DVR. This system records 24/7 and I have not had any problems with it. Understand though that I am recording in 700 lines, not high definition. In addition, I am recording 8 cameras at the same time and still no problems. You should test to see if you find out why it is pixilating. Is it the connection to the unit, i.e. is it USB, HDMI etc.? Does it pixilate when recording in standard definition? You will also need to know the specs for a replacement drive from the manufacture as to drive speed, type, and maximum size. DVR are to use 24/7 if they are recording all the time. Also check to see if the system you are trying to connect the expander to will work with that expander. This information you need to get from the manufacture of the DVR. he reason I suggested testing and questioning is because I had a Brand new 55" TV that I was hooking up to a Home entertainment center that I could not get to work properly. I was finally directed by the manufacture to try the highest end HDMI cable. BANG, that was the problem, not the same but it does show that it can be a simple solution to an pain in the neck problem. Hope this helps.

Resolution is great during day light, above average night vision if you have some light source available but does not pick up in pitch dark. Haven't added DVR yet.

I am not 100% sure but here is a link to the user manual. http://www.vivitar.com/files_products/417/DVR_508_Camera_Manual.pdf

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

Simple, why not just return the "Cam" for a complete refund backed by a full warranty with it? I just wished THIS particular cam had a wider view area, color is alittle off as well. (grn"s) I run shielded cable, power at the cam install site as well. Could drop down to a 650 tvl with more view area for a hundred bucks less to, with color! Just a suggestion?! Bv

Out of the box, the TV settings are "vivid". At the very least you'll want to set it to "standard" under picture settings/picture mode. This wont fix the black problem by itself, but then under advanced settings there are a couple of adjustments that will, namely "gamma" and "black corrector". Play with these a bit and you'll get better black detail. If you'd like a full listing of user calibration settings for viewing in a darkened room, here is a link that will give you those presets. Try them, and if you like it, you're done! Otherwise, play around a bit with the settings I mentioned to achieve the desired results. Here's the link: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10060430-1.html?tag=mncol;txt I hope you find this helpful, I'm using these settings myself and am pretty happy with the results. Be warned, however, once you reveal black detail, you may notice unevenness in the black uniformity of the screen. Good Luck!

I don't know how to fix it. I bought one of this and I was very disapointed the way it works at night time because I can't see anything itys totally foggy. I can't return it because I modified the case during the installation, I have to buy a VideoSecu Zoom Built-in SONY Effio CCD 700TVL Infrared Day Night Vision Outdoor...to replace it. this one works better for me in a total darkness. I would return it.

Mine is not the one pictured here but that is the right middle number. Even when I have told people it has a camera they are not positive where it is located on it. All you see is a small hole that could be for anything. Low light it is possible to see but not good. It does not have night vision so you would need to set up lighting. I have a motion light in one area and for another I have night vision light in the other. As for recording. Any security dvr will work fine, you just need to keep it hidden where you know ppl are not going to look. Most dvrs require a monitor. But after it is setup you can remove monitor and just use a smart phone or computer terminal. Choose a dvr you can get answers on for setting up. They can be hard even for a techy

Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results. I mainly want it as a portable DVR (I bought it with the docking station) and sometimes it works and other times I can't even see the recording tab to select it. It was great watching Monday night's Heros while I was riding the train yesterday (it was saved to my Comcast DVR on Monday and I transferred it to the 705 on Tuesday evening), and I was able to hook up a card reader to transfer photos from my camera flash cards (after updating the firmware), so I've had some success. The overall problem is poor documentation, and I'm hoping to resolve my problems by playing with it this weekend. Mine arrived on Tuesday (11/27) and I'm having mixed results.

The dvr should have a series of audio inputs next to the video inputs. In my case my dvr has 8 channels, but of 8 video inputs only 2 audio inputs. Channel 1 & 2.Also most dvr's cameras don't come with audio connected cables. You will have to get one that has the power, video and audio plugs.

FYIThe Toshiba DR400 manual says it will record content at the correct (source) aspect on DVD-RW but "always at 4:3 on DVR+RW/ +R."Go figure. Might be something to look into.

When you download the video your viewer should be able (under info or properties) to show you the resolution - which should be 1280 by 720. if its 720 by 480 you have the standard cam. For now my advice is check because my supplier sent a standard cam as HD - I'm waiting to name names , as I am talking to them fix the problem and it may be an honest mistake.

No, it doesn't. Neither have manual IR nightvision ( my older handycam has it).
