does the fi9821p have the ability to keep "night vision" enabled, but with the "IR" lights turned off?

The following is listed on the Foscam website. "The IR lights can be turned off manually from the software". I don't know if that means the night vision can stay on and the IR lights can be turned off at the same time.I hope this helps.

I get good resolution through a window and also at night if you turn the ir lights off. Recording should be the sane though I don't know if the motion sensor would work to initiate recording.

No blinking light, that is the IR, (infra) lets you see at night, which you can turn that off and on, but I recommend leaving it on. There is one on the back, to show it is plugged into the internet. When it is going wireless it doesn't blink.

Yes, the brightness of the IR LEDs is controlled by the sensor. The less light the brighter the LEDs. The sensor has an IR filter so it does not see IR as light.

No, this older version of hardware does not have night vision. Logitech's newer, more expensive hardware does have night vision, I think. The software for the older hardware also will not work with Windows 8.

I think there is only infrared function for night shot. You can take white-black video at night not color one

Jay,Keep in mind that this is an indoor camera - the built-in infra-red lights must be disabled in the camera's setup if this camera is placed behind a glass window. The camera can still be set to be sensitive to external IR light when the built-in IR is disabled.Most license plates seem to be reflective, which essentially causes the normally readable parts of license plates to be washed out when IR light hits the license plates. If you are able to use motion sensitive LED floodlights in the area, you could force the camera to remain in color mode all the time, which would increase the chances of license plate recognition at night.

Dusk to dawn can be turned off. I have mine connected in place of the devious generation of IR sensing light and it works fine with the light switch to turn it on solid or auto switch like you said. A good buy too!

The little camera automatically goes the night vision But the main camera I cannot find out where to turn it off for night vision or in any of the other switches or seem not to work But maybe one day I can figure this out myself the instruction booklet was not too helpful

The quick answer is no. However the night vision is better than I expected. Plus, one can see the red light that emits from it.

It does not have IR night vision built in, but we do offer an external IR lamp ($149) that you can use indirectly - e.g. place it behind a piece of furniture and point it up the wall toward the ceiling. Since the camera does have an IR cut filter, it will, in the camera's perspective, "light up" the room so the camera can see in the dark.

Unfortunately, there is no user control of this, it is automatic by a light sensor. However, I have seen mods on the internet to use the built-in remote controlled switch to wire the IR LEDs through, though I have not attempted this yet. This does pose a problem when using the camera at night looking through a window, all you get is IR glare.

The" Infrared LED control--"Auto" switches on the IR LEDs automatically when there isn't enough light to produce a good quality image. "On" turns the IR LEDs on permanently and ignores the light level in the room (resulting in a Black & White mode). When "Off" is selected the IR LEDs are kept in the off state even if the light level of the room is too dark to produce a good quality image. This may be useful if the LEDs are reflecting off a nearby surface and obstructing your view. Please note: "Auto" uses the light sensor on the front of the camera to check ambient light level to turn on the IR LEDs at night. The sensor is below the lens.

Night Vision works the best when it's complete dark. If you install camera in half dark environment, the camera IR LED won't completely turn on, that's the worse situation for night vision camera.

It has nv mode all it does is dim the dot so its not over powering at night. It's not actually nv with ir.

Sorry No. The 4 IR LEDs are at the corners of the lens. They are not very bright, a dim dull red color. If you hold your hand close to the lens it does have a effect, illuminating objects in total darkness only up to a foot away. They are no help when recording at night. I tried everything through the menu to turn them off with no luck, my solution was black electrical tape over the four LEDs
