It's not the DVR, it's your cameras. You need to get cameras with better night vision.

Not too sure why this happens. Never experience this. The only reason that I can think off is when it gets dark the images are displayed by the infra red, night vision properties of the camera.

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 willappear B&W; otherwise it should be in color

Durring the night usually if you have no light outside image will be B/W, if you have any light you will see color image.there is a SD card you can try with 32 gb

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are: Contrast: 95 Brightness: 32 Color: 64 Sharpness: 90 Energy Saver: Level 1

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

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.

The cameras are not 1080p, the daytime resolution is pretty good but nighttime vision is poor, you will not be able to see a license .

Go to tv setting go to picture put it on vivid and go to advanced tv setting turn off ambient light sensor and back light control

The image resolution is ok however outside light needs to be on for better viewing at night.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

Night Vision works the best when it's complete dark. If you install camera in half dark environment, the camera IR LED won't completely turn on, that's the worse situation for night vision camera.

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