can it record without night vision

Yes it can!! Not a crappy low lux, like most do, but an excellent IR night vision!! It has it's flaws though but it's the best I've used over all!!!

Simple answer, yes. It does well, recording in day light for the price range of this device.

I don't think it can capture video that far at night, or trip the motion sensor. During the day it can film that far, but I don't think it will at night. This works better at around 12-15 feet in darkness.

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.

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

Yes and no. You can set the SmartGuard to not light up during the day when the sensor detects movement but the camera will still record. I'm not sure if you can set the SmartGuard to only record at night without the light, which doesn't seem practical since there might not be enough light for the camera to capture a picture without the light at night.

I bought an "Esky waterproof NTSC universal camera". It has night vision and so far it has met my expectations. You will need some sort of monitor to display the images from the camera if you don't already have one.

Night recording is pretty dim. It works, but if hours of darkness recording was a priority for me I wouldn't have kept it.

Yes it does record in pretty much any day or night lighting. Be sure that it is not pointed at a light source.

Yes but then what the point. It will only capture pictures during the day. The night pictures will be all black

This camera does not have night vision. I'm a private investigator, and I purchased this camera for work purposes. Its a great camera, lightweight, good battery life, and good zoom. Its has a small light you can turn on while recording at night but its not night vision. The small light helps just a little. But keep in my mind I use this camera as early as 6am while its still dark outside through my tinted windows. Its work great for me.

No, it doesn't. Neither have manual IR nightvision ( my older handycam has it).

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

yes this camera DOES NOT record ...provides great video.... no night (dark) video - must have some light to produce a picture==== hope this helps you

Yes, it records audio. But unlike the outdoor cameras, the indoor cameras don't 'see' at night. So without an adequate light source, you won't get any recordings with this camera - not video or audio. I also have outdoor cameras placed indoors, and would go with the outdoor models entirely, knowing what I know now. Best of luck to you!

Yes, "Night Vision" can be turned off from the SmartCam website. Login and select the camera, bottom left side click on Settings icon, towards the right side Night Vision can be turned On/Off.
