(1) Is camera clear if mounted inside RV backup camera enclosure? (2) Is camera CCD or CMOS? (3) Can display be dimmed for night time use?

1 No problem with mounting, should work. 2 not sure, will see if I can. 3 yes. Overall good simple but no directions on wiring, easy though. Great simple at good price.

No IR/Night Vision. Camera is 720p HDTV 30fps. I've used these for a while and they are awesome. The DVR software is free to download. The only caveat is no night IR but with outside motion lights it hasn't been an issue. Check them out at Www.ubnt.com

I found mine works best in 'Sunshine' mode at night. Makes no sense but it is what it is. It still underwhelms at night but I suppose if there were an accident it would suffice to show fault. Forget reading license plates at night: this camera is just not up to the task.

No it is infrared so only if you are looking at the camera will you even see the red lights glow but not noticeably. We have used it very successfully for several months now and it helped us catch a raccoon visiting our back porch nightly!! He never looked at the camera even when it was taking his picture!

I mounted a second camera to the rear of my camper trailer. I should have done it a long time ago! The ability to see what is behind you and when you have clearance to move over a lane is invaluable. I had to find a RCA cable long enough to reach from the trailer to the truck (36'). Radio Shack had them.

Although the display is color, nighttime images are pretty much black and white unless there is a strong light source, typical of video cameras in general, the less light the less color comes through. IR only images are also like viewing B&W. Color and picture are superb in full sunshine.

The camera requires a power source, recommended source is the backup light circuit on the vehicle so the camera will turn on/off when using reverse. Brackets are provided for mounting the camera.

Seeing at night is no problem with this camera. I'm thinking a bout how long I've had this... 7 - 8 months now and it has been great. The one thing I am still getting used too is the wide angle perspective. Not a problem it is just something you need to be aware of when backing up. FYI, I hook up to a trailer and it makes it a snap night or day.

Don't know but a few years back I installed an ancient Sony camera in an enclosure and mounted it on the side of our home. I also bought a (believe it or not) cheap plastic mount that swiveled the enclosure with a remote controlled little motor...worked great and the pictures which I copied onto my hard drive looked fine. I don't see any reason why this newer camera won't produce good pictures mounted inside of a weather proof enclosure.

We are not supposed to be able to see the IR flash but I can see a red light when it is on. I have used my cameras for security for quite a while now with very good results. I have a special container which has a cut-out for the camera, sensor and flash but not the display so it is hard to find on my barn in most cases.

My unit has the same dim red glow. I added a piece of florescent lighting diffuser panel (used in overhead lighting) the same size of the LED face. This widened and smoothed out the lighted image seen with the camera. This unit is still working, since 2008. Great product. You should buy the best camera you can then worry about the illumination after it is up and running. A high quality day/night camera with a very low lux rating (<0.001) can produce amazing images in very low light. The better the camera you start out with the more effective the illuminators will be.

I can't say for fact, however it is a very good picture & has low lux as well. The only thing I do not care for in these style cameras are most have there own power adapter, and if you don't pay attention close when your hooking all your cameras to your dvr you'll smoke it with 12v dc! But other than that the camera is and does what they list on there description.

Mine don't light up other than the LED bank emits a bit of reddish glow if thats what you refer to. It don't seem to deter any animals from 'posing' for the camera. I have one in the barn and the critters (wood hogs, coons, cats and assorted creatures) all get caught on the SC card, so it's a non-issue ar least with me. Battery life is phenominal. I use the heck out of one (in the barn) been going for a couple months and still has an indicated 85% battery life. Again, I was a little miffed, the cams were supposed to ship with an interface cable and they didn't but I just used one I had in the drawer, no biggie.

The LED lights turn a dim red at night when the camera is on. They are difficult to see and not very bright. I have not reviewed the instructions to see if there is a day only option. I have mine setup to turn on when the vehicle starts and turn off when the vehicle turns off. The LED on most infra red cameras do the same thing, I install them for a living..

You can see the LEDS at night. They are not so obvious as to grab your attention, however, if you are within 6-10 feet and looking directly at the camera, the LEDs are visible.

These are NOT CCD, they are CMOS! If I knew this I would have not bought this. I am trying to demand a full refund. But I live in Curacao (very small island in the Caribbean.) and returning isn't eady. If you send me your email I will send you some pics of the quality at day and night.
