Hi Mikieb: I'm sorry to tell you mine is the same during the daytime. I have not been able to adjust. It does show objects very well at night but during the daytime the only colors i can pick up are red, green and black. The other colors are distingueshed better than the black and white cameras, but not like watching tv. I havent been able to adjust for a clear color.

I thought my camera had a red light visible at night. Sometimes the animals are looking straight into the lens even though the camera is well hidden in a tree. I will double check and update tomorrow.

The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker. I had to add landscaping lights (bright ones) outside in order to see what the dogs were up to when I have them out back after the sun went down. I also have to turn the lights off inside as well to check on them without going outside. Not a complaint, but trying to give you an idea.Its not really mirror like except when light hits it just right. It does act as a really good privacy tint though and actually looks pretty good if its applied with no bubbles. You can't see inside from outside from more than a few feet unless it is brighter inside than out. (Nighttime with lights on inside) The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker.

Don't know exactly what you mean by "color code", but the light is red... It turns brighter when you brake...

Great picture during the day but a lot of snow/raster effect at night in IR mode.

I have occasional instances where the screen will turn snowy and back. it can do this repeatedly. seems to be only on HD channels. when I go to a non-HD and back it typically stops. Still, no idea why it would do this. Did you get a resolution for this?

I'm also having the same issue with 2 888LM's keeping the lights on constantly. They didn't seem to do it when first installed but nowall the time. I'm wondering if they get more sensitive during colder temperatures.I've turned the motion detection off for now unfortunately.

Ya I have the same problem to and called the company and they said don't pay any attention to it. Some time after a vehicle passes and you hit the red light it will go off. But most of the time it stays on. Hope that helped a little.

My unit was stuck on red and I disconnected the LED wires and powered the controller up with no lights attached. I then turned it off and reconnected the wires and got it out of the red mode. My unit is now stuck on the color changing cycle. I can't figure out if it's the remote or the controller causing the issue. I have given up and ordered a different LED RGB controller.

Not at all should be red. I returned that light one of the fans stoped working and then I go nd out that the light wasn't even from their company just a light they bought cheap and sold high with their name on it. Return if you think somethings not right.

Before I bought mine, I read that red was the best color to view in daylight. They were right!!

Jay,Keep in mind that this is an indoor camera - the built-in infra-red lights must be disabled in the camera's setup if this camera is placed behind a glass window. The camera can still be set to be sensitive to external IR light when the built-in IR is disabled.Most license plates seem to be reflective, which essentially causes the normally readable parts of license plates to be washed out when IR light hits the license plates. If you are able to use motion sensitive LED floodlights in the area, you could force the camera to remain in color mode all the time, which would increase the chances of license plate recognition at night.

I installed a simular unit, another manufacturer under eave of my house(seedonk), out of direct sunlight,rain. Had no issues, except on very hot day, 90's it acted up and colors were almost black and white, but its fine now.

Your sensor is pointed at something reflective. When the light comes on, the sensor is seeing that light and reading it as daytime. Your light will cut on and off all night. Please direct the sensor to an area that is not illuminated when the light comes on. That should solve your problem.

Did it get too cold? We left ours outside one night, and it didn't work the next day. Toro customer service says it may have frozen. We'll try it again, but we're close to returning it. What good is a snow blower that has to come into the house at night?

If you use the remote, cycle it to the red. If it doesn't start cycling automatically, go through the colors again and stop at red. I couldn't figure it out, but my eight year old son did.

My first one had the same problem as yours. Red light on all the time, and froze! I returned it and bought another one hoping it was a defective piece.... My second one start to show signs of defective also! and this one I can't return b/c past return period. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT is my recommendation.
