Will this take a clear picture 100 ft away form cam in total darkness?

It may at trigger at 100ft. You probably would not see what triggered it very good at that distance in total darkness. It will trigger at that distance the downfall would be the total darkness. Day pictures you would get a good picture. The camera is a very good one.

My experience is that the camera is limited to about 30 - 40 ft. The trigger seems to be the limiting factor.

No not a 100'. Although my night time pics are very clear there are limitations. I would guess 50' is pushing it. This is a very nice cam and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Use a tripod and have multiple batteries it should work fine. There will be a slight color distortion is shot during the day, but at night as with all full spectrum cameras you really need good lights to use with it.

I am sure it will. In fact, it is our opinion that the best range for quality pictures is 35-40 feet.

I don't think it can capture video that far at night, or trip the motion sensor. During the day it can film that far, but I don't think it will at night. This works better at around 12-15 feet in darkness.

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.

It depends on the distance. This device is nice but will only give you clear image in the range of up to 50 yards. Beyond that things will not be clear and recognizable.

I can see almost 100 yards clearly, if there is total darkness. If there are other lights off to the sides it makes it more difficult.

I don't know if it will remotely work off the backup lights on a trailer or not. The clarity of the camera may not give you the depth preseption you are looking for. I don't know if the clarity can be adjusted. I am still pleased with mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks for the good question. In the center of the image, it is about 40 - 45 ft in total pitch black darkness. Please note that the camera's built in IR light source is circular and the image is rectangular, so the corners of the image are darker than the center. If there is street lighting that will help. Or if you need more than this IR range, you can purchase an inexpensive IR illuminator to add more IR light. Those are available from under $20 to over $100 from many sources. For best range, you'd need the type known as "850 nm".

If you set the camera up to take photos at the correct intervals it should (every sec) it should capture the picture. But if its running it probably will be blurry. Not alot of deer run at night unless being chased and remember the pic will be b and w

I don't think so as it's not designed as a waterproof camera. I does, however work pretty well indoors in my basement. The IR lights are bright and I can see clearly the entire basement in total darkness.

Yes it will work but you need the correct off camera dedicated cord, about 15 to 20 dollars and it hides all the shadows like magic.

I have two of these and out to about 10 yards it will take a good picture. If something is within 10 yards and sets it off you can see anything in the background out to about 20-25 yards. I hope this helps...........

Yes, it's called NightShot Plus. It is available on most, if not all, Sony camcorders. Most other manufacturers may have a 1 or 2 lux minimum, (needing some light to work) while the Sony can work in total darkness with its infrared sensor to a distance of 10-12 feet. The older version gave everything a greenish hue, while the newer version supposedly has more accurate color.

Yes, images are quite clear and bright even in nearly total darkness. However, don't expect to see natural colors low-light conditions... at night the images are more black & white in tone.

No problem,,, i have my cams over 100 feet away in the garage and they work properly ..my house is not brick but u should be good ....

It does work well at night but as far as a deer running by I really don't think the picture would take but the video might. I haven't had that to happen so I really can't say. I haven't used the video on my camera only the camera to take still photos.
