It says color camera but IR LEDs. In the dark does it record in color or black and white? Also please tell me the resolution. Thanks.

Bought mine in 2010, it has white LEDs not IR, LED brightness is adjustable and records in color

I have not recorded so cannot answer. One problem I have with this unit is that I cannot find replacement parts.

I have two that I use to boroscope drill pipe ID's. It records in color, not sure what the resolution is, but it's clear

Black and white. The reslolution is excellent! I am very pleased with mine.

I am not entirely sure as the picture was very clear and that the pipe I have checked out was white I would have to say it was black and white. The clarity was excellent.

It does record in color, but beware that the LED light source is limited in reach and ability to contrast colors.

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

if i remember right is was RGB, I returned it. The UI was horrible.. look at the A.C. Ryan PlayOn! DVR(there still selling some at acryan) or maybe the PHD-VRX2 (this one's for digital record only)

It is infrared. No pictures at night and continuous monitoring depending on time set. No night video only day.

Hello, yes, it has IR LEDs, regarding the resolution, it's no problem, but it's not HD.

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.

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

The one I returned due to malfunction had red led lights but when the company sent a replacement it had black led lights. It takes pictures when motion is detected but you don't see the black leds lights flash. If the animal is detected at night it will never suspect the camera. Its a good deal!

The LED lights turn a dim red at night when the camera is on. They are difficult to see and not very bright. I have not reviewed the instructions to see if there is a day only option. I have mine setup to turn on when the vehicle starts and turn off when the vehicle turns off. The LED on most infra red cameras do the same thing, I install them for a living..

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

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.

on the left side of the control, push it to activate the camera, don't get confused with the red and green LED on the camera, green means it is off, red means to record. good luck!

The large LEDs do use twice the current as most cameras. It does sound like a power supply issue / voltage problem at the camera. any way to see if you are getting 12volts at the camera in black & white mode? Agree with Sam on bigger powersupply & cable. I soldered my connections.

The monitor is color. The camera is color in daylight and black and white at night.

I have not tried night-time recording, but I will now that you mentioned it. My experience with poor quality in low light is in my basement. I have two lamps with 60-watt bulbs in a fair-sized room. The result is a grainy image and inconsistent color rendering.

It will record at night, but the image quality is poor at best. It does not really have night LED's. The length of time the machine will record depends on the size SD card one installs in the unit - 8GB - 16GB -32 GB. Once the card is full the unit will re-record over what was previously recorded.
