Does the camera work in a dimly lit room or in the dark?

Yes, but not real clear. Only if someone walks close to the camera you will recognize. Note: night mode is gray scale, not color.

Works fine in the dark, better in a dimly lit room (similar to dawn or dusk conditions outside I'm sure) with good clarity considering the camera quality/resolution. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of this product.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

If I understand the question correctly the camera does adjust it self to the ambient light. So in darkness it brightens up and in direct sunlight it will darken slightly.

I honestly have not tried this camera inside the home. My guess is if the lighting inside the house is not bright enough you may get the night vision effect when viewing which is in black and white (no color).

All cameras will be more limited in a dark environment, but for a small camera, this one does very well in lower light.

Not well. The camera seems to be ideal for bright environments. I tried to capture some low-light under-water scenes and the camera recorded just black.

It doesn't turn on in a lit area. I would say it would have to be about the darkness of dusk or darker in order for the light to turn on when motion is detected.

It has a setting called color night vision. In low light, the image is grainy. In total darkness, you will not get a picture. Hope this helps.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.

Yes it works best in a dark room. You do not see the lights during daylight.

The camera has to be infra red capable, or it will not work at night. You can set it up daytime, but you will have to check at night to see if the light is in the correct place.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer. We have just started using it and haven't had the chance to use it in low light. We do think it's a really cool camera though.

No, my camera is always silent: call customer service to troubleshoot the problem, if it is not associated with ambient light changeover.

I don't have the same camera. My camera was purchased for HD night recording only and has to have an infrared light in order to use in the dark. The camera works with it in any setting it has. If your camera has a night vision mode that is what would probably work the best. I wish I could be more help to you.

In a room with some sunlight, the dark scenes in a movie will not be visible. I always use it in a dark room.

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.

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.
