Color. They switch to a black and white / green infrared at night. It's a great system.

These cameras are not HD. They are very good resolution compared to most consumer surveillance systems, but true HD cameras cost as much as this whole system for each camera.

Still the same thing - as I understand it, the /B stands for 'black', the color of the camera. Kind of redundant at this point since it does not come in any color other than black that I know of, but perhaps they intend to make it in other colors later.

color at daylight b&w; at night.I wouldn't purchase, my dvr never worked properly and after two months I had trouble with night vision on a camera. support personal are hard to understand and was of no help in my case. my mistake was I did not install right away after purchase and warranty expired, so I purchased a q-see kit from Costco, worked fine. One expensive lesson.

The cameras are color in normal operation, but of course black and white when using infrared at night. I don't know the actual max range; mine are at most 100 ft from camera to receiver.

Yes, I think that I indicated this in my review. The photos from the 50s and 60s are black and white and they look fine. I guess if you truly appreciate B&W; you may have a different opinion but I am not scrutinizing them for how accurately they reproduce the original, just saying they look plenty good to me.

Sony informed me within days after registering my new DSC-H20/B they are the same camera and B is for the color Black. It is a good question because you never can tell with thousands if not hundreds of Brand Name Models.

It depends upon the camera--one of my point-and-shoot cameras require a white card and with my DSLR, I can use either the black or the gray.

If it is daylight or there is a dusk to dawn light the image is in color. If it is night without assisted light the image is B&W.; Even in B&W; the image is excellent with farther than expected vision at night.

I would suggest that you finish installing all 4 camera's and see what you got then. Check the connections. If there is not enough light it will appear B&W otherwise it should be in color

They are the same camera. B is for black. Some places just list it one way or the other.*Edit*- Looks like the answer has been covered.
