Does this camera take night time photos as well?

This particular BirdCam does not take night time photos. There is a light-sensitive photo-cell on the camera that measures available light and puts the unit into something like a sleep mode (referred to as "NIGHT" mode with this model) to conserve the battery until the photo-cell detects enough light to resume taking pictures.

No it can't and I would consider another cam - this one does fine in the day but nighttime images are horrible.

Since this is a very good camera what you might want to do is some research on lighting that you can attach to it for night lighting. There is only so much that can be done at night as should be known. There are some really good lights now being produced such as LED.

No,not as long as the camera isn't in plain view or easily seen.We have several of these and have taken many photos of animals,people riding buy on 4-wheelers,etc,both day and night time without knowing the camera was there or they had their photos taken.Day photos are in color and night photos are black and white.One of my friends purchased this same camera to put in a tree behind his business for security.Also will take video if that's what your more interested in but this mode will use up battery life at a faster rate.

It does not have a night shot setting, but it shoots great video in low light using the auto feature. Took shots of birthdays already with only the light of the candles in the room and it looked great. It does have a light built in that work really well too.

I have not tried it for that yet, but it does take great pictures in the daytime. I would imagine, if you set your camera to manual shutter speed and stuff, it should do the job.

It has low light, but not nightshot. The low light is pretty decent though.

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

Nope, you can only use it in the day time as the light sensors wont allow it to properly attach to your camera at night

Hi Rosie, This camera has a good low light capability. However, it still depends on the lens you are using. We recommend using lenses with large aperture opening. -Anthony

Hi Andrew, The camcorder has a Night Scene mode to shoot Night scenery but doesn't have night vision. - Vincent

Yes it does. I took this camera to the Chicago Art Institute, they keep very low lights and no flash photography is allowed and my photos still came out clear and defined.

Yes, it has flash for photos and a constant light for night videos, but you have to tell it to use the light when you turn it on. It's a quick and easy setting.

Yes. Dusk to dawn is just one of the settings / functions. How it determines light availablity is that it takes a picture at a certain interval to sense light or dark. When it senses that conditions are right, it goes back to taking pics at its set interval. You can also set it to take a picture every 2 seconds or whatever your preference is 24/7. You can also set on and off times manual. Caution: I bought mine in August. I was trying to catch a thief. I set mine to take a pic at 2 sec. intervals. When I reviewed the "video," it stopped playing and froze...a glitch in the software. Luckily I kept the file. I called the company and found that my camera did not ship with the latest software version, 4.5 I think. Once I did the free update, the video played through and we caught our thief. E-mailed the stills to the state police and off they went.

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

Yeah, it does. One of the functions helps action photos look clearer. I have also used another function that allows to take sequential photos. I am sure I have to learn more about this camera but It has been a good buy. I still think the camera doesn't take good pictures in dark places, but as I told you, I have to play a little bit more with it.

No. Although the camera is very capable at low lights, its capability is limited to slow moving subjects because the camera's sutter speed slows down to compensate with low lights.
