I would like to purchase this camera primarily for night surveillance. How are the quality of night images? Can it be triggered to go on only when i

You will not be able to get any images during the highttime because the camera does not have any type of flash. It is designed to take daytime photos only/

It might work if you had external lighting, and plenty of it. Pictures are not clear at all. The camera is designed to take many poor quality pictures so you can see movement and determine the time and place of movement.

It does not take images at night since it does not have a built in light source. only day time images.

Hi Linda,We have used this camera extensively at many varying lighting conditions and have always been very satisfied with the results. The amazing part is that I have always left the setting in automatic and used the factory defaults. Someone with a bit more expertise that I, can get much more out of this camera. For the technically challenged, as am I, this is a great camera that does everything extremely well. Enjoy.

I have used it to film at night and this camera needs good illumination to record properly. It works fairly well as a car cam at night but it has a hard time in really low light conditions.

It's OK. If you have an outdoor light with motion-sensing capability that would help with image quality. This is my first system, so I don't have much to compare. So far this has been the best camera. I've purchased 3 different types. Lorex, another off brand, and this one. These are the best so far. The more IR lights a camera has the better night vision. 700TVL or higher recommended for any camera. Good luck!

Hi David. Can you explain why so many reviewers have said there are bad problems with visual "noise" at so many settings, and even worse in low light? I really want to buy this camera for every other reason, but worried about image quality. Your experience seems quite difference. I also read a pro review that said all the images were soft/not finely detailed because of the Venus processor's over-suppression of the images. What do you think?

The res is excellent, more like 720p! Best cams money can buy, trully great! Good luck, night vision is amazingly clear. &#128077;&#128077;

keep in mind that this is 1080p HD camera, so in my opinion, the quality at night time (in almost total darkness, the only lights are from my vehicle headlights) is VERY GOOD. You can see everything and anything clearly in the recording.

Have not driven under those conditions but overall the camera has excellent low light capability. At night the camera view is always much brighter than the actual light level. I am very happy with the low light recordings.

Night time pics are illuminated with the infrared flash and hence are black and white, not color. The shutter speed is about 1/60th which gives a soft image with some blur if the target is moving rapidly. For my game counting activities it works fine and the price is right. I use a bear box and security cable. I have gotten good pics in sub zero day and night situations. The state Fish & Game has standardized on this camera for observation and population photo documentation. I change batteries every 2 weeks or 300 pics. Have not had any problems in rain or blizzards.

Nope, this camera lacks night vision, however it' clarity matches the 1080p resolution cameras, you need to have a ubiquity nvr or setup a computer with the recording software in order to achieve the best quality videos and record events, I have a ubuntu linux computer receiving video feed from 16 cameras just like the one you are showing

Hello Tyler.I bought the same sysrtem and the cameras are making loud noises when triggering to Night mode and day mode at dusk and down. That is not a defect, is simply cheap materials used on them to make em less expensive.

it was pretty great, but in dark rooms no there is not much to do in dark,clarity is great but when zooming in or out while recording it may at times became blurry for a sec, battery wise is great it runs good I'm not so sure but maybe anywhere from 2 hrs constant use to 6 hrs if are not using much in the day.

Mine is triggered by both heat and motion. If it is used in warm weather or mounted where it's exposed to sun, you will get a lot false triggers. I live in TX and about 85% of my photos/videos are false triggers. Also I am very disappointed at the quality of color photos/videos at night. Daylight photos/video are good.

If by nightvision you mean it can see in total darkness? Then no. But if you got enough lighting it can see as far as 15 feet away. Which is better than most cameras at this price. Especially web cams. If you want an actual nightvision that can see in total darkness you'd be paying a bit for that. The one I got picked out will cost me 150 bucks. They aren't cheap. If you see one cheap, its most likely a scam. All in all i thought this camera was a pretty decent investment for the price. Used 4 of them to keep watch on my property. Particularly this one here is one of the better ones.

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

This camera has 4 different modes:Q1 - takes (3) 8 MP photos every 30 seconds if the motion sensor is triggeredQ2 - takes (1) 8 MP photos every 30 seconds if the motion sensor is triggeredQ3 - takes (1) 10 second long 720P HD video every 30 seconds if the motion sensor is triggeredCustom - customize the photo or video setupBy the way, this camera takes excellent photos both day and night, and has excellent range on the night time photos. I have 3 different brands of cameras and this one is the best of the 3 that I have.

Night time was just ok, as daytime was pretty good. I had to return the mini 0801 as it was not working properly. I had contacted E Prance for a software update and they claimed they didn't have one. The cam would record sometimes and sometimes not, and the date and time were always out of sync. That is why I returned it after about 2 months. There are better choices for dash cams. I am waiting to find one that is reliable. Apparently most of them are cheap Chinese manufactured ones, which when you read the reviews about the different models, all are about the same quality with some similar issues. Draw your own conclusion. Good luck
