We've captured animals at night. Haven't tried video with audio yet. Black & white nite pics set at 8mp are good. Little blurring from movement of animals.We haven't tried the enhanced blur reduction yet, but other people have information. Check this review for more info http://www.chasingame.com/index.php?id=313. Plan to get 1 or 2 more of these cameras.

The camera works at night but does not have night vision. I find it useful at night as in the day

No it doesn'tI wouldn't recommend this camera. It has the so called "green light of death", the flash light stays on when the camera is off and consumes all the battery overnight.I would buy another brand. Nikon is more expensive but no longer worth it.

NO, it isn't a night vision camera. This camera doesn't record, you have to hook it up to a DVR in order to record, it is ONLY a camera.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely

Why not? This camera is great at night shots...excellent in low light. We just got back from Tahiti with 500 or so wonderful pictures.

Yes this does have night vision, or what is called NightShot infrared mode for lowlight shooting.The only problem that I had with this camcorder was when I played some old tapes that I have to see what was on them; when I first played them I had picture and sound, then when I played a different tape I had no picture or sound. I talked to a friend who works with video and TV, he said to play a tape from start to finish and keep doing it until there is a picture. I played the tape two times and then played one of my old tapes and the picture and sound was great. I am now very happy with this camcorder.

It will record at night, but the image quality is poor at best. It does not really have night LED's. The length of time the machine will record depends on the size SD card one installs in the unit - 8GB - 16GB -32 GB. Once the card is full the unit will re-record over what was previously recorded.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

Yes it does have night viewing ,but not as bright as your more expensive PTZ cameras

Hi, this Sony Cybershot doesn't have any infrared or night vision for taking images in the dark w.o the flash. -Ely

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

No the infrared led flash takes black and white pictures at night. For color pictures you need a regular flash camera.

It does not have night vision, when room is dark you cant see anything..motion detection comes with your dvr's software not with the camera.

No,not as long as the camera isn't in plain view or easily seen.We have several of these and have taken many photos of animals,people riding buy on 4-wheelers,etc,both day and night time without knowing the camera was there or they had their photos taken.Day photos are in color and night photos are black and white.One of my friends purchased this same camera to put in a tree behind his business for security.Also will take video if that's what your more interested in but this mode will use up battery life at a faster rate.

No. It is motion activated. You set it up leave it and it only takes pics and video when something moves in front of it day or night
