Anyone found a solution for the night vision blinking problem? We've had it for six hours and it's already doing it.

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

We had to return our unit as the night vision was turning on and off continuously during the night. We called Samsung and they said it was a problem with the night vision sensor. We bought the Motorola after that with no issues

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

They will either fix it for you or send you a new one. The Motorola is nice but only lasted us a little over a year...their customer service is awful so beware.

I bought one of these ones. it takes only 2 hours showing purple eyes and then they change to consistent blue lights. It may be worth to try to charge it using a different usb cable

I held the UV Button down for about 5 seconds and it worked for me! The blinking stopped and the unit was re-set. But if you have any other questions, reach out to their customer service at guardian technologies! They were great at assisting me before. 1-866-603-5900 ext 213

its a blinking light at night only. As dome cameras go they do not blink so I installed mine without the batterys

You probably have a bush or something moving in the wind if the light keeps going on. But if the light is blinking and not staying on for 5 minutes at a time, suggest you set it to another interval for a while then back to 5. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

Try changing the bulbs with standard bulbs. The bulbs that came with the lamp have a blinking mechanism built into them.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday. I use DuraCell batteries.

Mine still has the blinking light. I have the exact same one I bought two years ago, and this one I just bought a month ago. Both blink.

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

Try turning off the LCD and changing the drive mode to continuous. I did this and the flash recycle time is about 4 sec.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

I have the same issue. The documentation says it has to be completely dark for the nightlight to work, but I personally do not think the night lite function works at all

I have noticed this as well. This seems like a potential electrical problem which could be dangerous. However no danger here, the control started to blink after a few days then stopped working completely. Sent it back to Amazon

Try the dusk to dawn sensor! Cover it with a piece of duct tape and see if the light stays on and does not strobe. The reason is there may be an ambient light source near or close by affecting the sensors ability to work properly. I had this problem when I hung icicle lights up for the kids.

There's a menu when you ping the camera 192.168.0.178 I think it's under advanced settings you can set the LED to off so it doesn't blink...

I've had the same problem. Amazon is replacing the set.Update: got the new set. It has similar problems, but not often. Trying to determine if this is due to quirky inputs (ie, Apple TV2 being being turned on, and camera plugged into AV input). Happy otherwise, probably will keep the set.Another update: blinking on start up continues, poster on another thread mentioned hdmi handshaking problems on other hdtvs- sounds like what I've got. Trying to decide whether to keep the set, since people have said TCL has terrible customer service. I don't want to get stuck with it after the return period. Note: if i change inputs then go back go the apple tv that fixes the problem. I've had the same problem. Amazon is replacing the set.Update: got the new set. It has similar problems, but not often.

That is normal. It takes several hours to recharge and it blinks while doing so
