It says night vision of 50 feet but what about range in daylight? is there a zoom capability?

I believe daylight would be infinite. It is a small aperture lens so anything beyond a hundred yards might be more difficult to make out in brushy conditions. No zoom capacity, fixed aperture. We use ours for security purposes at a cabin site so we are less than a hundred feet but daytime color is very good. Night time at 50 feet is challenging to make out personal identification. Shutter sped is slow though detecting wild game would not as much of a problem. Hope that helps a little.

I believe daylight is 70'. I do not believe it will zoom, but the quality of picture is high enough that you can digitally zoom (crop and bring it up) if you have any photo editing software. I have seen no noticeable loss of quality when I have done that. I also have a Reconyx HC 600, but it is no better than the 500. I guess if you have spooky deer, the 600 doesn't even have the dim red glow of the flash in the 500. I get just as many night shots with either one, and have never seen a sign a buck shied from a dim red flash.

Thanx Bryce. Does it have night vision or is it compatible with it? And if the latter then what is the best setup to achieve it?

The night vision is very good on this camera. For every one LED light you get 2 feet of vision. So if you have 36 LEDs then you will get close to 72 feet. Needless to say I really like this camera. Sony super had ccd2 lens are better though

No, It has no night vision, in fact , at night you see nothing, though its exellent at day light . There are options in ntework cameras with infrared leds ... Try That . Its better !

Yes it does have night vision capability, but it's not High enough resolution to read license plate at night. The problem I had was that after 8-9 months the battery would no longer charge.

Around 20 - 30 meters at a straight on shot. This is not a high def security camera, better at close range. Good night vision capability.

NO!!!!!!!!!!! It is only night vision capable. You have to by your own night vision equipment which runs about $5,000

No, it does not have any type of night vision capability. From our usage, the low-light visibility is about the same as what a human can see.

The camera is great in short distance, up to 20-30 ft. The camera does not have any IR light built in, so you will need at least two or more good IR lights. the quality of camera is good and I use it in every night investigation I do. Best within 20ft but nothng over 30ft

the camera is good in nightshot plus in auto up to 1/2 into dusk, then the focus starts going haywire. In manual, it is good up to about 10 ft+/-, as long there is a light colored subject there....it can pick up trees, but.... Inside, it is good up to 15ft.+/- for a clear shot. Again, if lighter the colors inside the rooms, the little further you can see. I have gotten s far as 30ft with white walls and objects around it....you may have a little different results with yours. Beware, it does drain the battery faster than norm.....even faster in the cold....have not tried it outside in the dark with snow on the ground, yet. Hope this long winded answer is what you were looking for!

Just looked at mine at I would say it zooms up to about 18 feet ... So go example I zoomed right in on something and had it crystal clear and it was 18 feet away.... Hope that helps?

The far range is good from about 50 yards to 500 yards. It is a little difficult getting it sighted in, but once you've got it, it is easy to identify what you are looking at. If you are looking for something to use up close, like walking through the woods to your tree stand, not so good.

Looks like focus down to 4 to 5 feet. Has diopter adjustment. I can focus without my glasses on if i adjust diopterveyepiece. That said, i would not buy that model again. Prefer the green screened nightvision. IR works but not at great distance. Price is good, though.

Pretty good for non-commercial night vision. We live in a rural area with no light other than the moon and stars. we're pleased compared to some of the other units that we bought or were prepackage with the monitor.

I found the camera is good for about 50 to 60 feet at night and it can be used with swan or in my case zmodo

Yes but the picture is limited to to the reach of the infared lights as specified in the manual (it's been awhile now but I think it was around 30 or 60 feet...anyway if the neighbors lights are on you can see much further.) The fella with the thought of the night vision illuminator has the right idea if the camera alone doesn't light things up enough for you. I love this camera because it gives me 360 degrees of visibility day and night and the picture is much better than the other bullet cameras I have (I have 7 other cameras on my system.) Hope this helps you.

Hello,The CMVision also provides infrared light in the 850 nm range. While I was using the device, it easily illuminated to 50 feet and beyond. Unfortunately, I had to return it since the LED's stopped working. The device definitely has the 50 feet range though.Good luck
