Does this Flir to capture image in daylight hours. Can it capture image 500ft away. They claim up to 900ft. Any experience

Yes, the images looking thru the Scout look exactly the same in daylight as they do at night. I could see children walking thru the open field at 900ft away very clearly one night, as verified with a rangefinder.

Yes to the video however unless the Coyotes are within 10 to 15' of the camera at night or up to 30' during the day you won't get a good picture. I mounted mine on a light pole at about 18' high and anything outside the base plus maybe 10' of the pole is not clear and at night it is half that. I think its better to use a Camera rated for several hundred feet when using outside and then you may get half that range that is useful.

I believe daylight is 70'. I do not believe it will zoom, but the quality of picture is high enough that you can digitally zoom (crop and bring it up) if you have any photo editing software. I have seen no noticeable loss of quality when I have done that. I also have a Reconyx HC 600, but it is no better than the 500. I guess if you have spooky deer, the 600 doesn't even have the dim red glow of the flash in the 500. I get just as many night shots with either one, and have never seen a sign a buck shied from a dim red flash.

I had it attached to my fence, and it did well up to approx 12'. Did not do well at night. It was very blurry with night photos.

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

Hello Steve, this is not a good choice for low-light conditions. It only works in daytime, or indoors with good lighting.

will it work outside. yes. will it handle weather? no. If you are looking for an outdoor camera foscam makes a few good ones that are affordable. They look like long gray/white rectangles. This one will not handle weather, but the other ones will! good luck.

Depending on the location of the camera, I have gotten between 60 and 90 feet for the motion detector to activate. The quality of daylight pictures is very good and the night quality is good as well.

Go in and look around on the Drop Cam website. They have both of the cameras pointed out a window in San Francisco. You can tune in a few times a day and get a good feel for the difference. Not sure about at night as I do not think the little cameras infrared lights will go very far. But, will give you and idea. My strong suggestion is to give up on the D-Link and go to the bright side of the force.

I have mine in a window sill and it works fine with one exception. During the daylight hours there is a reflection of the camera back into the camera. This is not a fault of the camera, but if anyone else has experienced the same thing and found a solution I would appreciate hearing about it. Because I accidently came upon this site and don't know if I could find it again, please email me at tmf24556@aol.comTom

I bought this camera based on the 75-100 ft responses here, but I'm very disappointed in that mine will only trigger by a human at about 20 to 25 ft. I can start walking slowly towards it from 150 ft away and the only time it takes a photo is when I'm almost on top of it. Very disappointed!

I have used it at night on light city street and the recording is quite clear but have never used on a dark country road. I live outside of NYC so all of the streets are light up. Hope this help you. For the record recording during daytime is excellent. A good buy.

Yes and no. I find it just changes the start time and end time of the camera. But I have never had a n issue where the camera hasn't taken photos through out a day no matter the clouds in the sky. Latest start time was 7:45am when sun rise was 6:30am.

There is lots to consider here. Where is your ISO set? Set it higher if you can. Also, are you using a flash? You shouldn't, as that will only work for 12-15 feet and make everything beyond it look darker. If you are zoomed it, make sure that you are in optical zoom only, and not in digital zoom. There are at least a few options to try....good luck. SK

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

If you set the camera up to take photos at the correct intervals it should (every sec) it should capture the picture. But if its running it probably will be blurry. Not alot of deer run at night unless being chased and remember the pic will be b and w
