I dont even put batteries in mine. The new camera's dont have blinking lights, your better off just buying one and putting up, they look very real!

red light shows that the camera is on and working and people will notice it

Sorry, never noticed. The eyes do light up when the flash drive is inserted, but never checked to see if it blinks.

They just cycle through all the colors. It blinks and pulses. http://instagram.com/p/f0UggsM1wa/ (not sure if the link will work, but I took a video of 3 of them taped to a single watch battery after I first got them.)

No, it should not blink. Both lights are red while charging and top row/right hand side column of the battery charge changes to green when the battery if fully charge.

There are adjustments for brightness, color, contrast etc for each camera's image. If you are not picking up ANY images at night (even close up?) then there is something wrong. The camera switches between color day/lighted viewing and B&W; night vision...you should hear a click sound when it senses low light and switches over. When you look at the cameras at night there should be a slight red glow from them which is the infrared LEDs that illuminate objects within ~25ft. Check all the VCR settings, like motion capture, make sure the cameras are on, and the LEDs are functioning.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

We are not supposed to be able to see the IR flash but I can see a red light when it is on. I have used my cameras for security for quite a while now with very good results. I have a special container which has a cut-out for the camera, sensor and flash but not the display so it is hard to find on my barn in most cases.

I don't use the lights. If you look at real video cameras on and in buildings they do not have flashing LED's, so I would be ok with no flashing lights. Flashing leds is a great indicator that the cameras are not real. Just my 2 cents.

Mine has never flashed. There is s slight pause when it's first turned on---but that is so short that it doesn't bother me at all.

If you don't feel comfortable eyeballing it, the camera has a setting you can use for set-up that will blink a light when it detects you walking in front of it. When you get to its left or right detection limit it stops blinking.

There is no flash. You might see a red light but that just means that the picture has been taken; the camera doesn't have a flash to light the scene.

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

Blinking red means there's a problem........those batteries goes bad a lot.Red for charging and green for fully charged.Hope that helps...............

No. It must blink. If you go look at real security cameras = they blink. This camera and it's blinking, its decals, everything looks just like the real ones.

The blinking light is when the battery is charging. The solid red is when the battery is fully charged.

That is simply a white balance setting. All.. I repeat.. ALL cameras will do that, if the white balance isn't set right. MOST cameras have a scene setting that include interiors that counter act the yellow red tint given off by regular light bulbs.
