This camera has very good quality in the day time but poor quality (the worst ever) at night time. Why?

The 4 units I own have good quality day or night. The areas I have covered are also assisted by some additional area lighting (one 60w light in the back yard, and a 250w sodium street light near my driveway) which may contribute to the quality of the night vision. If possible, I'd recommend adding some additional lighting to assist the nighttime vision. If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective camera. These cameras will display only black and white at night (no color).

The quality is good if the subject is close, I had my camera set up 20 foot from my feeder and the night pictures were very poor, day time are ok.

The video during de night is very good. The quality of the video are only tested at a distance of six meters for me.

I have not tried night-time recording, but I will now that you mentioned it. My experience with poor quality in low light is in my basement. I have two lamps with 60-watt bulbs in a fair-sized room. The result is a grainy image and inconsistent color rendering.

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

The one I installed seems to work as well when it is dark outside as daytime..It does vision cars at my gate well and also sees raindrops when it is raining.. It is a great camera for its price.. the only thing it does not have that I wish it had is audio.. bUt there are other cameras that have audio but the prices are much higher..

very poor camera in most dark situations and the flash sticks closed. Buy a different brand

fair to poor - you are only going to get so much with bad lighting. it is a great camera over all for the money. You need to buy pro camera's for night and dim lighting work.

I can confirm that its not good with low light even though the specifications states up to 1 lux. I have a rather bright night light in the baby's room and the camera feedback is black.

If you left in the sun for an entire day and it still doesn't turn on at night, then it's defective. At night it will produce a low light and when motion is detected it will brighten significantly.

The HD10 doesn't do very well in low-light environments. The video quality is poor with a very grainy image. The camera works really well in the outdoors during the daytime.

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.

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

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

Hello Michael, yes, this is a color camera in good light condition, daytime in most of cases. In night mode is grey scale colors, but not bad quality image, always is the same good quality, thanks for ask.

I have a previous model of this camera and the issue i ran into having it behind glass was at night the leds would reflect and make white rings that would wash out all of the image. day time worked great but i would see this being a problem with any camera that has night vision.
