I purchased the 4 pack a little over a year ago and the night vision no longer works on three. Are these refurbished or did I get a defective lot?

One of the set of mine went out too.... They are "NEW" ones! Not sure why....! Maybe they are NOT really waterproof?!? Not happy with them.

They looked new when received them an all of mine are still working. (Bought 2 packs to total 8)

same problem here...screen is totally black instead of white/black typical night vision. We have a $50 monitor that has better night vision. This one is over $200. I went to Motorola's website to see if there was something that could be done. Their official answer on their FAQ page: "increase the ambient light in the room". Seriously???

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

I have used six of these cameras at each of three locations. They work splendidly. Yes they do have night vision. This particular model is still available on E-Bay. The latest model works with the same software and will work fine with an older system as long as the latest transmitter is used. I am using Win 7 64 bit, Win 8 and Win XP with zero problems. You must have the 64 bit version to work with Win 7 64 bit and Win 8. The 32 bit version is required for earlier versions of Windows. Both can be downloaded free from Logitech.

Mine were the same, tried new batteries, that didn't work so I sent them back. Too costly and I got frustrated with them. I really liked them when they worked!

I have had mine for over a year and they work fine. My sensors are aimed up towards the sky and the lights are below them, facing away from the sensor. Assuming you don't have a defective sensor, I'd try aiming the sensor up and away from the light. It sounds like too much light is being directed at the sensor, which is causing it to turn the light off. When the sensor kills power to the light, it becomes dark, so it turns the light back on. You then get the strobe light effect. So, aim the sensor away from the light.

There's no night vision. And the binoculars were absolute junk. I threw them away. FYI: to have good performance at night, they would have to be infrared sensitive (which they're not) or have really wide aperture, for better light gathering (which they don't). I would recommend buying a pair of Celestron 8x21 binoculars. They work pretty well, but not for night vision.

Mine were not refurbished and were brand new. Very nice optics and very clear. Good mid size binoculars. One of the best buys in optics I've ever found.

I have never got my digital ranger to work. I bought it used on Amazon. The batteries I put in there are regular batteries. I am sorry, what are NiMH batteries and where can I buy them? I would love to have my night vision goggles work. Going to Contact in the Desert in Joshua Tree soon to look at the sky. Do you know of a repair store I can take these? Thanks

The manual included in the package is in English (mostly) but is completely incomprehensible, and I still can not figure out how to enable night vision mode nor motion detection mode. Please explain the steps in clear English for me?

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

I would immediately contact the company that makes these kits: http://www.luminus.com/about/contact.html. Clearly they ought to replace the defective kit. I purchased four of these things and all are working great after six months. Call me lucky.

I haven't had mine a year yet, but the easiest way to look at it is like this. It's night vision that works, and is inexpensive. If it only last you a you a year, it cost you less that $20.00 a month to have it. If your looking for something to last, save up @ $2 - $3,000.00

There is probably either too much ambient light in the room or the IR Leds are reflecting off some nearby surface and fooling the light sensor into thinking there is plenty of light in the room (thus turning off the IR Leds). You could try placing a bit of tape or something semi-transparent over the light sensor and see if that helps. Or as a quick test, while it's flickering, place your finger over the sensor and see if the IR Leds stay on (night vision mode). If it's too close to some surface, move it further away. If those suggestions don't work, the camera may be defective.

I bought the same ones.... They never worked right and the did not stay charged. One of my worst buys (trying to save money. I have a Sharp 3D tv

I am going through my second 40XBR4. The first had what seemed like flashlights shining diagonally from the upper left and right corners in dark scenes. I exchanged it for a second one and it sucks as well. I think the second one is going to be returned pretty soon as well and no more Sony for me.

Hi, i haven't had a chance to test the night vision but i read the many reviews that said it was more than adequate. Hope that helps.
