flash: is the flash visable at night

Dale, I own another brand but the infrared cameras do not flash visible light(infrared wavelength 'flash' is outside human eye perception). There is a red glow on the IR LEDs when the camera is triggered. It's not bright, but it is visible if you're looking at it. If you position your cams right, nobody knows http://www.gizmology.net/LEDs.htm will tell you more than you want to know about IR emitters

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.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

Yes. You go to Menu>Camera settings>2>Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

Nope.this is just an LED light,not a flash.you can only turn it on or off and vary the strength.its a steady source of light

Yeah, we have some Speco cams that have invisible IR lights. So they are not visible at night. It seems the invisible IR lights are getting harder and harder to find these days.

It has a regular flash for nighttime color photos. This camera will not work for your needs

Pic's are black and white at night. Flash is visible red glow, but doesn't appear to spook game.

I have a set of three for each vehicle. At NIGHT, they are really bright--they will really get one's attention a good distance away. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for warning at night. In the DAY, I would not use them at all. In the flash mode, The LED that is directly inline with the eye is sort of visible but at 60 feet away, it won't reach out and grab you. The two LEDs on either side of the one inline with the eye are reduced even more in visibility.Bottom line: At night--awesome. In daytime--not!

I think there is only infrared function for night shot. You can take white-black video at night not color one

It is very silent and has no flash, so I am not sure if you will catch any good photos at night but during the day the pictures are fine.

don't use flash if I can help it, I like available light when I can. Olympus lights are a little high.

It works ok at night. If you want to see clearly you may need to either buy a ptz camera that has IR illuminaters built in, or buy a IR spot to light up the area you need to see the most clearly at night.

No ! You have to manually erect it and if its not dark, u have to turn the flash on from settings
