How is the video quality while recording at night?

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.

The night time visibility is surprisingly good even though the camera is not a night vision camera. I would stuck to camera that comes with the system.

Although it is a little grainy at night, it does a good job capturing night pics and videos. If an animal runs by at high speed, it may miss the photo/video, but I don't think that would happen often.

Yes, I have done so. The IR's at night will not shoot out properly and you will get a reflected picture. During the day, it is hit and miss depending. I have tried this with several different types of glass (dual pane, single pane, etc.) and when I have looked at the quality of the video, it is poor. This method also relies on how far away you set up your camera from the window, and the ambient lighting surrounding the area as well.

I have not tried night time pictures yet, the pictures I have taken are very good though, I would imagine night time would not make too much difference. 16 MP and a very compact design are the highlights as well as the lithium rechargeable battery. Very economical, and a very good overall camera.

I have only taken a few pictures at night and they came out very good with flash, also some low light without flash and they also were very good.There is a review of the camera on consumers report which rated the camera first in its class.

Nope, this camera lacks night vision, however it' clarity matches the 1080p resolution cameras, you need to have a ubiquity nvr or setup a computer with the recording software in order to achieve the best quality videos and record events, I have a ubuntu linux computer receiving video feed from 16 cameras just like the one you are showing

We have no issues with night pics. Video worked great for awhile, but I'm am filing complaint today. Both cameras are good for pics only at this point. Not happy.

I have not used the playback on the camera but imagine it is the same -- all daytime pics come out in color on my computer -- nighttime is black and white

I left mine on the medium resolution setting and it has taken alot of decent pics at night!

Kitchen at night should be OK. Probably won't have that sharp HD look though. In your second example just make sure your subject is not silhouetted against the window and you should be all right. The camera is quite good at coping with most shooting conditions automatically. However, in my first week of using the HF100, in a darkened restaurant, I made the mistake of not turning the on-board video light on. I had read it is not very good and eats up the battery, but I should have used it. The video came out very grainy. Across a table for two is probably the best time to use it. I didn't shoot much anyway, so it wouldn't have used much battery. Oh well, I'll try it next time.

Mine does not look foggy well with night vision is not as clear as with the sun out, you must like in a well lite area to get a picture at night without night vision. No zoom during playback.

The res is excellent, more like 720p! Best cams money can buy, trully great! Good luck, night vision is amazingly clear. &#128077;&#128077;

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.

Hi, for this Sony camcorder, it doesn't have night shot feature, however you may use "Twilight" settings under scene selection in which it maintains the darkening atmosphere of the distant surroundings in twilight scene. Hope this helps. -Ely

Yes, however the recordings can be faint if the people are a more Than a meter from the device and yes it does record at night
