I set 'night vision' to Auto, but it never worked. I set 'Infrared light enhanced' to On, but the infrared light LED is never turned on. Bad unit?

it could either be a bad units or something that you are doing wrong. what I would suggest is contact this seller and see if they can troubleshoot the issue. the other thing is YouTube also has videos that may be able to assist you. sorry I cannot help you anymore.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

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 did it, but the video quality went way down. It works okay for me, but I haven't tried it with the IR LED's on. Worst case scenenario, run a light extension cord. Hope that helped. :)

There are 2 buttons located on the upper outside edges of the cameras that provide 3 settings. 1. IR ON 2. IR OFF ,3. IR AUTO . If not all of the positions work it's just a minor switch defect . Send it back for a replacement. The two buttons on the front are for On/Off and Camera Selection. Hope that helps.

It has nv mode all it does is dim the dot so its not over powering at night. It's not actually nv with ir.

That is correct, no night vision. No IR capability. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with my unit. It's been working non-stop in an outdoor environment from 90F to -15 degrees in a remote location. I am using the network connection, have not experimented with trying the wifi.

I bought one. I didn't have any trouble finding the settings in the A7 menu and my battery is installed properly without the plastic interrupter strip and I couldn't get it to work. If they shipped it with a dead battery, shame on them. I don't have another. Where is the camera reading the IR signal? Through the lens? Are you supposed to see a light on the front of the remote when you push the button?

There is probably either too much ambient light in the room or the IR Leds are reflecting off some nearby surface and fooling the light sensor into thinking there is plenty of light in the room (thus turning off the IR Leds). You could try placing a bit of tape or something semi-transparent over the light sensor and see if that helps. Or as a quick test, while it's flickering, place your finger over the sensor and see if the IR Leds stay on (night vision mode). If it's too close to some surface, move it further away. If those suggestions don't work, the camera may be defective.

Ours also did not work at all with new Energizer batteries, but I had some problems with other batteries in that new pack earlier. So I tried 5 new Duracell batteries. Now the night vision works for about 3 to 4 seconds once turned on, then stops working. Returning mine, but it was so hard to unpack that the packaging is all torn up!

Ummm, did you check the battery? :) Does it come on when you press on it? If so, maybe you blocked the IR receiver in it?

Close to a mirror image for day. By night the IR really is not effective. My brake & backup lights help augment a little for darkness. The IR Blasters that come on the unit just create optical distortion. Good unit for the price I guess, I've seen better ones go for $150 and upwards. Good luck.

Unfortunately the signal is infrared light, which you will not be able to see even when the product is working properly. If you have eliminated other possibilities in setting up, do try another battery; but don't worry if you can't see anything. (For me, setting up my Nikon D3300, the key was shutter release mode.)

Make sure your camera has night vision or its a waste of time. Camera should detect night time auto. If no night vision, forget this

Remove the plastic strip from the remote....it prevents the battery from making contact. Plug in the ir sensor and it should work...if it doesn't...it's defective

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

SO I got one of these for my wife...its a simple device and works as expected..the issue is it it TOO BRIGHT at night. We have the dimmer set to mode 3 with -15 level and ON. and it is still WAYYYY too bright at night. Other than powering it off or covering the touchscreen with non-adhesive window tint any suggestions?
