How's the camera at night with no other lighting except the backup lights on the vehicle?

Works well at night. I had a hard time choosing a camera. I am more than happy with this one. Definitely worth the money.

the backup lights provide plenty of light to see backing up with this camera. i have not tried to disable my backup lights to see if InfraRed is capable without my backup lights.I see perfectly at night backing up with this camera with the car operating properly with backup lights upon reverse.

The screen is just dark with no input signal. If your backup camera is wired to your reverse gear lights then the monitor will only show a picture when the car is in reverse gear.

There are small infrared lights for night time vision. It's not too bright but bright enough for the camera

I've only used the lights that come with the kit. They do get a bit warm but I don't do a lot of long term picture taking, so it's not an issue for me.

No, it does not have supplemental lighting. If you need thay feature get an IR capable camera and even add more IR lighting to help out. This is a backup camera so keep in mind how it is being sold. Generally, in darkness the backup lights on the vehicle will provide sufficient lighting to see the rear view. If you want to park with lights off vut still see the rear view so as above and get an IR camera.

At night, with the infra-red lights, the cameras simply show reflected light. If the camera is pointed at empty space (not pointed at trees, grass, or other objects), the night time picture will be entirely black. The infra-red lights seem to project out roughly 50 feet - of course at that distance at night it will be difficult to pick out many details about the object that is recorded. If there is ambient lighting (street lights, overhead security light, infra-red light provided by other cameras or external IR emitter) it is possible to extend the night time visible area.

Yes during the day you can see cars good at night not so good. Mostly just lights.

So far it works fine at night. I have no issues backing up at night. The reverse light of my truck is enough to see when backing up. If you read the specifications it's clear, do not mention any infrared light... It don't have infrared light...

You can see the red glow from the infrared lights when it takes pictures at night. No flash.

It is very silent and has no flash, so I am not sure if you will catch any good photos at night but during the day the pictures are fine.

This is not a night vision camera therefore it requires some light source ie backup light. I have some Cree backup bulbs so it works well at night.

it's night performance is WAY better than I expected, it gives a good contrast with noiseless in low light conditions. use a tripod for better results. but keep in mind that you are not using a DSLR.

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..

Camera works fine in low light. We have not noticed any problems with this.

Can someone please answer the question? Does it work as a dash cam at night? LEDs are not really the point, as they help only for close objects.

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