I have two of these . One works great but the other turns itself off at night. It says "No Signal" till the sun come up.

I have had nothing but problems with these particular cameras. I have purchased six of them and only one works at this time. I think flashing florescence or lighting at a distance burns them out.I would not recommend to purchase these types of cameras even though they look really cool.

These cameras have very little intelligence and do pretty much what they are told. So if it is turning itself off at night then the DVR is telling it to do that. You will need to check you DVR settings and specifically the operation time. The camera is incapable of doing this on it's own.

It may be a setting on the dvr or a issue with the power connection but I would order another one to replace to be safe. You could spend more time troubleshooting than makes sense. You can try covering the camera to provoke the ir feature and see if it loses signal.

No! I got one for my satellite LED plus and about once a week, when it turns on, it just goes straight into storm mode, our it just flashes like a broken strobe light.

It is supposed to come on when it is dark and most of the time it does not. It definitely turns off automatically but not when you think it should. I think they are a waste. I bought two at the same time and neither works as advertised.

I have one and I'm pretty sure it is just a light sensor. without messing around with the electronics it only lights up if it is dark.

I bought two. The malfunctioning one stayed on continuously (until I switched it off). The 2nd works normally, turning itself off in less than a minute after leaving the room.

Hi, if you turn off the unit and the white lights stay on then something is wrong. The white lights stay on on some of the weather settings but not the moonlight, so if the white lights are on in this setting and also when the unit is off then you should send the light back and get a replacement.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

The one I received stays off until it is activated by motion after dusk. It comes on and stays on for a short time then goes back off.

Mine doesn't ....and the timer by Area Code doesn't work well either. Easy to set, but turned on at least two hours before dusk when using my Area Code. Had to buy something else to get true dusk to dawn.

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

Check all of the connections on top. Solar is kind of fickle. All of my soar light, of every brand, sometimes take a break. Don't know why. Try charging while off too. If nothing works, you've got a bum one.

It's motion sensored and In the daylight it stays off. I am using one outside and notice it turns on only at night when I walk by it.

I have a Heath-Zenith. The reciever is an unheated garage. The sending unit is in the house. Cold weather DOES effect it. As of now, I had to remove the battery from the remote because the light was coming on and going off at will. Maybe the Sky Link is better, but my experience with other Sky Link products is not good.

Yes, I have. I ordered 2 of these. one is OK. On the second one, the light does not turn off. returning.

If you left in the sun for an entire day and it still doesn't turn on at night, then it's defective. At night it will produce a low light and when motion is detected it will brighten significantly.

It is best to get direct sunlight or the battery won't get charge properly and your light won't last long. I love this light cause it's on all night but when movement is detected it turns on brighter So the more sunlight it gets the better.
