How well does the camera work in the dark?

Like the camera on your phone it all depends on how much lite there is.If your reverse lights put out enough light for you to use your mirrors then the camera works good.

In moderately lit indoor conditions, it looks perfectly fine. The darker you get, the less quality it is (obviously, ;D). For example, I'm in a room with no lights, a single window, on a rainy and cloudy day. The small amount of light coming in is surprisingly enough for the camera to get a decent picture (but I wouldn't want to film anything professionally without first turning on some lights). You can adjust the exposure yourself, which does improve the quality to an extent, but over exposure looks rather funky (on any camera). In the end, it's A-OK for a moderate to poorly lit/naturally lit room. Any darker than that and the camera has trouble focusing and getting decent quality. There are also several pre-set lighting conditions too which are rather useful. Combining those with manually white balancing and adjusting the exposure myself, I was able to greatly increase the quality of the picture compared to the auto-settings. But of course, the camera really is at it's best on a sunny afternoon. The picture quality is great when you're filming outside or in a well lit room. If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot!

They only come on in the dark, and there not super bright. I bought two cams and this one makes night into day for me. I use it as a rear view mirror in my truck. It's hooked into a 7" screen

I have had pretty good luck with night shots, however it only works if there's a little light to work with. I have put my camera in an area where there's a lot of over growth and No moon light and my pictures are also dark.If the area is open and there's some light to work with its pretty good in my opinion.

It does not provide great images in the dark. It is actually overly plagued with noise. I returned mine yesterday after a week.

The camera does not have night vision. It is supposed to be a "low lux" camera, and the spec. sheet says 0.01 lux, but in darkness, my experience is this camera is fairly useless.

I have not used it at night but it works well at dusk. Cant beat it for the price. You want something that works at night go gen 3 night vision or thermal, but $$$

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

Use a tripod and have multiple batteries it should work fine. There will be a slight color distortion is shot during the day, but at night as with all full spectrum cameras you really need good lights to use with it.

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.

I have several and I am very happy with this camera. The color changes to a amber hue during the dusk and dawn hours but the object remain clearly visible. They have a good range in total darkness with the IR on, but you won't make out a lot of detail.

Yes, the camera works fine in normal light conditions. Don't expect amazing quality however. This model offers video recording only, not FPV.

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

Good Question. As I have written in my review posted below, no real user guide to help. I have not used the camera at night as of yet. It may actually make the transition to night mode as it senses the decrease in available light. From my Post: "It is not so much that I have any real problems with the camera's performance (for the price), it's that you are left to suffer much trial and error in figuring the thing out because there is no real "User Guide." Oh you get one. but it is more like a "Quick Reference" guide that you would use after you have read a real one. The camera design employs multi-use buttons. No real manual, no helps, Very disappointed with that!" Good Question. As I have written in my review posted below, no real user guide to help. I have not used the camera at night as of yet.

I think the low light ability is fairly good. Once the light level drops below a certain level, the camera automatically switches to B/W.
