Yes, it's called NightShot Plus. It is available on most, if not all, Sony camcorders. Most other manufacturers may have a 1 or 2 lux minimum, (needing some light to work) while the Sony can work in total darkness with its infrared sensor to a distance of 10-12 feet. The older version gave everything a greenish hue, while the newer version supposedly has more accurate color.

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software.Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night.Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

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"... "No"... So does it have night vision or not? Someone please answer with more detail. I thought all dash cams record at night as long as there is a light source, such as headlights and street lights.

This camera does not record itself, your receiving unit has to have recording ability such as a DVR or a Time Lapse VHS system. The camera simply gives you video of the areas its focused on, but you must have a recording system that the camera connects to. This is an excellent camera with exceptional night vision even in total darkness. I have an 8 camera system using this camera. I highly recommend it.

No IR/Night Vision. Camera is 720p HDTV 30fps. I've used these for a while and they are awesome. The DVR software is free to download. The only caveat is no night IR but with outside motion lights it hasn't been an issue. Check them out at Www.ubnt.com

I do not think it has night shot. However, it has a night or low light setting in the auto mode. I have been satisfied with the quality of videos shot in low light.

No it can't and I would consider another cam - this one does fine in the day but nighttime images are horrible.

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

Hi Alex, The camcorder doesn't have ISO settings. You may use NightShot feature for low light shooting. Vincent

Yes and no. The camera has a set of IR LEDs that allow it to see at night. You will have not be able to see what is going on at night unless you do what I did and tape off the LEDs using black electrical tape. What happens is the IRs hit the glass and at night it acts like a mirror and blinds the camera. Without the LEDs it works fine during the day and at night it works decently with ambient/porch light. You could also get an IR LED array for fairly cheap here off amazon and point that into your yard as well. That way it would have pretty good B&W; night vision.

I'm not sure what nightshot is. This camcorder shoots pretty good video in low lite situations, but may be a bit grainy. On several occassions, i've used the video editing software (Cyberlinks Power Director) to lighten the video a bit when original video was shot in very low light. If you're referring to still photos, this camera does not have a built in flash. While I have used the still photo feature on occasion, I use it mostly for video. Darned good camera for the money.

It works well in limited light. I would not say it had night vision capability as not many do. Hope this helps.

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.

In day yes, night no . Night vision only b&w , Never had n vision before . Simple to install but night vision not so good ? I dont think any cameras any better , You just need surface to bunce back ir light i guess . Work well inside shop & driveway ,but not pointing out in open flat area with no back ground .

I honestly have not tried this camera inside the home. My guess is if the lighting inside the house is not bright enough you may get the night vision effect when viewing which is in black and white (no color).

This cam is great at night. Don't let the lower price scare you this cam is just relabeled when it's resold.
