Does this camera have the red glow at night from the IR's?

Yes the camera does have the red glow. At first my eye was drawn to it soon as I steped outside but now it's not so noticeable, unless you're looking for it.

It does not have IR night vision built in, but we do offer an external IR lamp ($149) that you can use indirectly - e.g. place it behind a piece of furniture and point it up the wall toward the ceiling. Since the camera does have an IR cut filter, it will, in the camera's perspective, "light up" the room so the camera can see in the dark.

No, it does not have IR and in fact is terrible in low light applications. It has a very small aperture, so without a light source, it will show nothing. The camera has a ~1MP sensor which outputs a 720P video stream.

The quick answer is no. However the night vision is better than I expected. Plus, one can see the red light that emits from it.

While camera is advertised to have IR LEDs, my didn't, but if you are wiring it to auto back up lights I don't see IR LEDs are needed. It has more than adequate sensitivity to show area illuminated by the backup lights. It worked far better than a camera I replaced with IR LEDs.

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.

Eric, The D-555i does not have a white flash or a red glow to it. It is a no glow camera.

No. The IR LED panel will glow red. It doesn't illuminate the surroundings though since it is InfraRed (IR).. in other words you can see it but you have to be looking at it when it flashes or comes on for video. You won't see a burst of red light flashing in the woods or in your yard, etc... The only ones that are virtually non-detectable are called 'no-glo' IR cameras.... such as Bushnell MAX black trophy cam... the LED panel on the front of these cams will appear black in the pictures of the item. Hope that helps.

No, it does not. If there is not enough light the pictures will come out dark. A red dot will flash, but that just means you are taking the picture.

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.

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..

The IR light does bounce back with this model too. But I just turn the IR light off, from the menu. The cameraj is very sensitive and I find I have a very usable image at night with just a light ambient light, no IR needed.

Night pictures are normal color taken with a white flash. IR is only used for motion detection.

No daylight flash, only IR, so you see nothing. The shutter is extremely quiet. I've walked around in front of the activated camera many times and can't hear anything. The biggest issue is hiding it, so humans don't spot it.

Only if your camera is sensitive to 940nm. Most cameras are not. Most only respond to the IRs that glow red. This unit is completely invisible...NO RED GLOW. I'd check the specs or with the manufacturer of your camera and see if it sees 940.

The infrared lights illuminate red when the camera takes a picture and yes, they are visible, otherwise they are off. Its not very bright, but noticeable if you are looking at the camera. There is also a small red light on the camera indicating it is on and a green light illuminates when a picture is taken. It also makes a slight whir when it takes the picture.

The ir flash can not be seen at all. The subject is illuminated but they will not know their picture is being taken. Night time pictures will be black and white you will not be able to determine the color of clothing or hair but if you will know when they were there and how many there are.
