I bought one of these camera systems last week. I have only used it one the road one time, but found the monitor to be too dark. Have you had same ?

I presume you are using while driving? Probably not the best idea if so. Regardless, tell me where you have mounted it, and at what angle are you viewing it?

Haven't had that problem works fine for me you should contact seller they sent me a new camera when one of mine started acting up

You have adjustment settings in the menu to brighten the screen. Mine are fine.

it appears dark at night and the night vision does not seem to brighten up the picture. Other than that I am very happy with it

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

Sounds like you are having trouble with the night vision IR. Call zmodo 800 line. They are very good. Sounds to me like the camera may have been damaged in shipping or something. It should definitely see in the dark.

Hi, based on my experience this is not the best cam in the marker; mine came with issues (Blurred image) and I was force to open it and I had to calibrated the len manually, not sure if you are facing something similar; of cource validate that the screen is getting the signal

Night time was just ok, as daytime was pretty good. I had to return the mini 0801 as it was not working properly. I had contacted E Prance for a software update and they claimed they didn't have one. The cam would record sometimes and sometimes not, and the date and time were always out of sync. That is why I returned it after about 2 months. There are better choices for dash cams. I am waiting to find one that is reliable. Apparently most of them are cheap Chinese manufactured ones, which when you read the reviews about the different models, all are about the same quality with some similar issues. Draw your own conclusion. Good luck

I set one up this way when first testing new unit. It works OK in daylight, if there are no reflections from the glass. No good at all after dark, as the ir lights from the camera are always reflected and cannot illuminate the subject.

I'm having the same problem I think these cameras are faulty. I am clearly not impressed with mine.

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

First I'd make sure I don't have bad batteries . Then I'd check the Iram that is for infrared aiming if that don't work then cam locater is bad. I have mine set to every 1 minute and HI res and on auto. Good luck can't believe all the Awsome pic I have got with cam!!!!!

I have not. I have been very please with my camera. About once a month I make sure the unit is plugged in securely though.

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

I had the same problem with the G9 camera I ordered online. I went through two of them, and both had the strange glow. I appreciate how Amazon made it very easy to return them, and now if they could only get Canon to admit that this is a defect. I contacted Canon customer support, and they stated "Unfortunately, we don't see the light".

That is very normal your camera is set to one minute, if you want it to stay on longer the next setting is 5 minutes, but it will still go black, it is recording at all times until you shut off the power to the camera.Ron

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

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.
