There is a neighborhood thief stealing valuables from peoples cars at night. Will this camera capture quality night video from 35 ft?

I wouldn't count on being able to identify the person with this. It's motion triggered and takes a picture every 5 seconds or so (can't remember exactly), so there's no guarantee you'll get their face. Also, you can see the infrared lights, so if you try it you need to place it where they can't destroy it if they notice it.

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 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.

It's OK. If you have an outdoor light with motion-sensing capability that would help with image quality. This is my first system, so I don't have much to compare. So far this has been the best camera. I've purchased 3 different types. Lorex, another off brand, and this one. These are the best so far. The more IR lights a camera has the better night vision. 700TVL or higher recommended for any camera. Good luck!

A camera like this would be good for solving your murder postmortem. Also, any theft or other bad boy behavior.

The night vision is very good on this camera. For every one LED light you get 2 feet of vision. So if you have 36 LEDs then you will get close to 72 feet. Needless to say I really like this camera. Sony super had ccd2 lens are better though

It is a darn good camera, but I do not know what your trying to do with it. Yes it can pick up plates at a bit of a distance. It is not going to get plates very far at night, or if the vehicle is moving. I hope that helps.

It can record at night. While recording the display shuts off. Connect to computer later to download results

Video quality at night is about the same as what a smart phone will record at night or what the human eye will see at night.

I'm not really sure. I hooked it to a camera that looks like a fire alarm sensor to cover a break area to catch a vending machine vandal. I'd think it would record from any type of camera if you use the right connectors. I can tell you it is not built for the elements so would have to stay in a van or indoors. Wish I could be more help.

This camera would give you a clear night picture of a person from 150ft away. You must be zoomed in and focused in order to capture the best quality. If zoomed out and try zooming in after recording, pixels will start distorting. This camera outputs hdsdi or composite video. For HD quality video 1694 coax cable is recommended instead of the standard coax and siemese cables sold. Hope this is helpful.

the camera is good in nightshot plus in auto up to 1/2 into dusk, then the focus starts going haywire. In manual, it is good up to about 10 ft+/-, as long there is a light colored subject there....it can pick up trees, but.... Inside, it is good up to 15ft.+/- for a clear shot. Again, if lighter the colors inside the rooms, the little further you can see. I have gotten s far as 30ft with white walls and objects around it....you may have a little different results with yours. Beware, it does drain the battery faster than norm.....even faster in the cold....have not tried it outside in the dark with snow on the ground, yet. Hope this long winded answer is what you were looking for!

Yes the cameras have night vision. They work very well to about 20ft, then drop significantly after that.

It does record sound, but usually doesn't pick up anything more than fifteen feet away.The batteries are backup power in case power fails. They don't operate the lights, just the camera and keep the date/time correct. It has to be wired in for the lights to operate. I suggest not putting it on switched power because the batteries drain pretty fast (a few days to a week).For the money, honestly I reccommend a stealth game camera (like hunters use). There is no visible flash, and the nighttime pictures are a lot better quality. I switched after a year (because my video of some kids breaking into cars was not good enough quality to identify) It does record sound, but usually doesn't pick up anything more than fifteen feet away.The batteries are backup power in case power fails.

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

Sure, as long as you have uninterrupted power to it.... like a cigarette lighter plug that stays on when the key is off. When you first turn it on the little screen on the back is lit and stays lit for maybe 10 or 15 seconds. Then it goes black but the camera is still recording. However, there is a little light on the bottom right corner that is usually blue but can be a mixture of blue and red when it's charging. That's the only indication that it's on. I plug mine into a under the seat power plug and just pull it half way out when parking. Then I push it back in the next time I drive and the camera comes on automatically. I love this little camera and bought one for one of my boys and he too loves it. The video from this little guy is awesome. Remember, if you have it positioned looking through the windshield it won't video the cop but it will record the dialog... the video will be whatever is right in front of you. I looked a long time before deciding on this camera and the instruction manual is very clear even if written in Asia. Be sure and order the memory chip when you order the camera. You can select the length of recording up to 5 minutes long and then a new clip starts automatically and has several of the last video's closing frames. This makes it very easy to find a particular clip for a particular time. It records several days of data. It also has GPS that stamps your speed etc. on the video. Like I said, awesome. I don't believe you'll be disappointed if you get this little guy. If you want to be totally stealthy you could put a tiny piece of black tape over the little blue light, or paint it but it's only like maybe 1/8" in diameter and not very bright. The audio picks up every sound in the car. You can listen to your tunes all over again when viewing the clips! Good luck!
