Is there IR/Night vision on this ceiling dome camera?

No, its not IR enabled. Also, you should know, we installed these at a client site and they went bad after about 8 months. We had to replace them and eat the costs. Not recommended.

Would LOVE to tell you but mine burned out within a month of installation...

No, it does not have any type of night vision capability. From our usage, the low-light visibility is about the same as what a human can see.

It doesn't have any. It works pretty well in a well lit area. I've had mine for about 1.5 years and still work well.

No. The motion detection would be controlled by the DVR. This is a standard analog camera with infrared for night vision.

Agreed, no visible sign the camera is running. To notice the ir lights it would have to be really really dark. From my yard at night on a new moon I still can't see the ir lights.

The camera does not have night vision. It is supposed to be a "low lux" camera, and the spec. sheet says 0.01 lux, but in darkness, my experience is this camera is fairly useless.

My backup lights do not emit the amount of light at night to see. We were backing up the other night and nothing in the camera. I would advise the newer version with the IR lights.

Samsung does not make a dome camera specifically for this system, however, we do have dome cameras that are compatible. Both indoor and outdoor domes are available.Thank you, Ellipse Security

No, It has no night vision, in fact , at night you see nothing, though its exellent at day light . There are options in ntework cameras with infrared leds ... Try That . Its better !

That is correct, no night vision. No IR capability. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with my unit. It's been working non-stop in an outdoor environment from 90F to -15 degrees in a remote location. I am using the network connection, have not experimented with trying the wifi.

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

No. This camera requires a low level of externally provided illumination. One remedy is to provide a motion detection activated light source or an external IR lamp that will illuminate the area of interest. This is appropiate for this type of camera because the intent is not to reveal the camera's location by having an internal light source that would point to it's location.

Like what Raketemensch and Brandi said, this is for a camera that is ready for night vision. However what Rakeetemensch said about webcam's is incorrect. Most webcam's now have IR filters, they are easy to remove however. On any camera if you know what are doing and okay with voiding a warranty you can remove the IR filter and then these IR lamps will work to their potential.

I don't think so but I had another camera that I used to do what you are talking about and I just put electrical tape over the IR lights and that worked great. Not the best solution but it did work fine.

Yes, The IR's are visible at night, the IR wavelength being 850nm. Not bright, just a dull glow as in all IR cameras with 850nm wavelength's. The night vision is very good, more like a floodlight effect. I have 2 and just ordered another one. I have 16+ cameras around my yard, this one sees the best. Hope this helps.Mike

The camera does not use infrared for night pictures. It uses the LED's across the top of the camera as a flash and the intensity of the flash can be set to 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or turned Off through the set up settings.

No it does not. This camera and others with IR lights on them only reflect light on the front window making the video even worse. To get good night time video you want a camera with WDR or Wide Dynamic Range or something close to WDR like HDR. If you are on a budget I wouldn't buy anything cheaper then a G1W here on Amazon ASIN B00FONBG1A or if you want a really nice camera I would look at something from VicoVation like the WF1 or Marcus 1
