When it takes a picture at night is there a flash or light that illuminates? I am looking to find one more for security while my house is being built

There is no flash but it does light up when the pictures or videos are taken because I can see everything perfectly.

There is no flash at night it is infrared flash. We can't see the infrared light spectrum.

no "flash", it's infra red....not visible to human eye. Picture looks like a flash was used. Distance is therefore limited. I'd say 50 feet at night, for well lit picture.

No flash. Doesn't disturb our deer while they feed. We only turn camera on at night. We noticed if left on contnuously batteries go quickly.

yes it does make a flash so not sure it would be great for that use. we use to see animals in back acreage. if you want great detail maybe the security cameras are better.

There is a flash on the cameras. Make sure you tell your guests to use it because the pictures will come out dark and grainy if they don't.

there is no built-in flashlight that can provide a continuous source of light, but it does have a built-in flash so you can take photos at night or in dim light. you can adjust the settings to have the flash work automatically or manually

No it sometime's does a group of red lights but they do not "flash" just turn on then off. I thought this would happen everytime but after reviewing the pictures with me waving my hands around and looking at the camera obviously it did not go off everytime but was taking pictures, I do have a light on near me, just a 40watt bulb in a hanger by the coop and not sure if this was enough for it not to need it but even with that light it was pretty dark outside.

Re: I forgot to tell you that items are not infra red. So at night you can't see anything. But at night, don't open your door to anyone..Anyway, I have a light which is near the camera, and enlightens automatically.

No, it does not seem to make any visible glow or audible sound when taking pictures at night. I tested it on myself when I first got it, and have a few pretty good night time animal shots including one set of a fox sniffing around right in front of the camera. As skittish as foxes are, I don't think it would have stuck around if the camera made noise/flash-Douglas King

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.

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.

Yes, the LED panel lights up in red for a second but then goes off but only at night. Day pictures are chystal clear and has a long depth range! Has to be where nobody would be able to mess with it. I mounted mine just out of hands reach to stop this problem I was having. Over all I am impressed with the camera. I would like a little bit more clarity at night..but for the price I have no complaints.

We have one of these mounted to a carport pole facing up our driveway. It does not flash, so would not be easy to spot at night. Not only that, but if for some reason they do see the camera, the picture would still be contained on the remote unit which can be hidden over 90 feet away. Therefore you'd still have their picture. If you can use a standard digital camera, this should be easy for you to operate.

Pretty sure I remember it flashing red at night when it takes pics . Can't remember what I does in the day.

Yes and no. The camera has a set of IR LEDs that allow it to see at night. You will have not be able to see what is going on at night unless you do what I did and tape off the LEDs using black electrical tape. What happens is the IRs hit the glass and at night it acts like a mirror and blinds the camera. Without the LEDs it works fine during the day and at night it works decently with ambient/porch light. You could also get an IR LED array for fairly cheap here off amazon and point that into your yard as well. That way it would have pretty good B&W; night vision.

theres no flash but you will see the infared LED's up to about 60 ft. away at night wich is roughly the distance it can record up to at night. the LED's are about as 3 times less bright as a typical LED. During the day it can record up to about 100-150 ft in day light which you may see what is being "stolen" if its big enough.

There are small infrared lights for night time vision. It's not too bright but bright enough for the camera

The lights in this kit are on all the time. They are not "flashed" as you take your pictures.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

Hi there, no it does not; but all the pictures that I have taken to this point (inside & outside) have been exceptional as far as lighting goes. I just always open the flash mechanism when I turn the camera on so if I need a flash it will flash. Hope this helps!
