The car icon button turns on and off the yellow light inside the unit. The night vision has 2 lights, but doesn't travel a great distance and is invisible to the naked eye. Try video recording into a mirror, in a dark room with the night vision turned on. The camera recording should show the night vision lights illuminated in the video. I hope this helps!...

I don't have the same camera. My camera was purchased for HD night recording only and has to have an infrared light in order to use in the dark. The camera works with it in any setting it has. If your camera has a night vision mode that is what would probably work the best. I wish I could be more help to you.

In day yes, night no . Night vision only b&w , Never had n vision before . Simple to install but night vision not so good ? I dont think any cameras any better , You just need surface to bunce back ir light i guess . Work well inside shop & driveway ,but not pointing out in open flat area with no back ground .

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.

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?

Hi, yes it works outdoos, but at nights, it only works if the area you are going to watch over is illuminated, because this model does not have night vision.

I tried that and found it would work as long as the lights in the room were off, the infrared for night vision reflects off the glass so no tru night vision.

Yes - the night vision capability is controlled by the camera not the base system.

I don't know how to fix it. I bought one of this and I was very disapointed the way it works at night time because I can't see anything itys totally foggy. I can't return it because I modified the case during the installation, I have to buy a VideoSecu Zoom Built-in SONY Effio CCD 700TVL Infrared Day Night Vision Outdoor...to replace it. this one works better for me in a total darkness. I would return it.

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.

No it just turns down to low enough brightness so night vision ca be used behind it. Thats how my SR 556 is set up

It works ok at night. If you want to see clearly you may need to either buy a ptz camera that has IR illuminaters built in, or buy a IR spot to light up the area you need to see the most clearly at night.

I have the same unit and the night vision is simply worthless. I RMA'ed my unit with Motorola, thinking it was defective, and the replacement I received equally sucked.

I have the same issue. The documentation says it has to be completely dark for the nightlight to work, but I personally do not think the night lite function works at all
