Is the camera in color or B/W..? Anyone use this for a regular sewer drain with water in drain, did it work well?

I'm not sure if its color i hook it up to my notebook computer and show live images down a drain you can't tell if its color or black and white it does work goodI've used it several times down drains and you can always tell what the problem is

on the USB connection that goes to the computer it has a little switch on it for the light the light must be on when it goes down the drain so you could see the image

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

It is working great for us, we just had to buy some PVC pipe and I believe the drain as well. Looks really nice!

I could be wrong, but it sounds like some thing might be dirty... I'm not sure if that camera has a sensor or not..

There probably is a red filter available for this housing/camera, but I've never used one. A much better alternative is to use the built-in "manual white balance" feature, which will allow an exact color correction. Let me know if you are not familiar with manual white balance, and I can give you a quick tutorial.

we have a detached garage so what we did was we ran it down against the rain spout in a conduit then buried it under our pathway to the main house. We haven't had problems with those cameras, I think it was a flexible conduit. We do have other 2 of our 8 cameras out now, and q-see customer service sucks! (unrelated to the buried cord)

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.

Dear Alicia, it takes good pictures out of the water and decent ones in water so long as the water is clear. All in all for the price, I'm satisfied. Hope this helps.

Go to the Ridgid website. They claim the camera head and cable up to 10' are waterproof. But you can extend the cable up to 30' -- I am not sure why they do not say waterproof to 30'. I have not yet used my own under water.ut I have not yet used mine in a sewer.

Yes, the camera has a colored grid that projects behind you. But, I have two warnings about this camera. 1st, it is not water-proof. That over-stretches the reality that it is water resistant. It has four breathing holes in the back, and once it is wet inside, it will try your patience to wait for it to dry out. 2nd, the color is inconsistent. We bought one for our son and he says his color is ok. But the two cameras I bought for myself both showed everything green as pink. So, the world was filled with cherry blossoms, so to speak. And it also showed red as pink. I would not buy any more of these. Yes, the camera has a colored grid that projects behind you. But, I have two warnings about this camera. 1st, it is not water-proof.

I do not understand the question. image capture camera the door bell is color. and when it is dark the picture is black and white. the image quality is acceptable

either would work, i too also carry extra batteries, just in case. the video feature uses more power than pics so the batteries run out faster but i didn't think any times of 'drainage' were a deal breaker.

The camera does a decent job once is fully dark, but during the change from day to dark is a little bit washed, also sometimes the motion sensor triggers with put actual motion with in the field of view. I am currently twiking the sensor levels

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure. There are numerous openings into the camera for alarm wire connections that would let water in. Also, the gimbal for the lens would not hold up to prolonged heat or cold. There are many cameras designed for out door use. I suggest you find one of these if you need it to be mounted outside. That being said, i have placed one of these in a window and aimed it out into the yard with pretty good results. The quality of the pictures is HIGHLY dependent on the amount of light. Eventhough it has an infrared imager, low light still uses visable lighting and results in grainy images. This camera is most definitely not intended for outdoor use without an enclosure.

My cam never washes out, and color is great. I had Apexis,Foscam, and the Agasio. The Agasio was the best of all of them.
