I'm planning on putting it in my car overnight. I have people trying to damage my car. So let me know if there's night vision. Or at least works well with low light. My car is next to a light sensor. It comes on automatically when someone walks by. How...

Sorry, I am not sure if it would work, We used it inside and was plugged in all the time.

Hi, There are ones that are both motion detection with dusk-to-dawn and ones with just dusk-to-dawn. I bought the dusk-to-dawn ones and they come on at dark and stay on the same power until dawn. They work great and were very easy to install. Thanks.

I understand the sensor to be auto dimming for the rearview mirror to prevent glare at night. Mine does that and this item works perfectly for it.

It has a light sensor in it. When it is daylight it does not come on. At night the motion sensor is great. The light is very bright, I use it in the entry of my garage to light the way. I would highly recommend it if a bright light is what you are looking for.

Daytime its excellent. I use it to cover my yard sale out the window about 150 feet away. (yes somtimes people try to take things if Im not right there to watch it. At least this way I get a view of their car so I can report it.) At night beyond 7-8 foot it gets more and more faint the further away you are. Finally about 10-12 feet away its totally black again. It could pick up a person walking by or sneaking in but you would not be able to see many details beyond about 8-10 feet. Check out my video demo on YouTube. Search for video ZPqF25zfC5k or check out the video demo from Amazon fan,in the reviews section. Any background light at all really helps this unit with distances beyond 8 feet. A nightlight on, even moonlight coming in, or a streetlamp outside the window can make the room still be light enough. Hope that helps. Nick- onlinenterprises Just click this link to get one from me.

It is activated by motion. There is a switch that you can set to adjust sensitivity, so that it will work with other light around. You can also add a little shield over a portion of the sensor, where it won't see motion or light, to make it ignore windows, or trees rustling in wind.

I don't believe this unit is "too" bright. There are options to change the color, both on the radio display and GPS. I have my GPS setting on night always. Not bright at all. But this unit isn't without it's glitches. I've had experiences now more than a couples of times where the screen freezes or not turn on at all. I had to turn off the car and it reset. Granted I am no expert, I do not know if it's my car's electrical system or the unit itself. Good luck with your shopping.

Hello, please excuse my delay in responding. I have all three of them in different light settings, two of them (one in the rear bedroom and one in the front bedroom) is completely dark and it really makes it look like there is someone inside watching TV. The other one is in a half lit living room, since there is only a lamp turned on, but it also makes anyone believe from outside that there is someone watching TV in the living room. No... Outside street lights do not affect it too much. As a matter of fact, I have a public city light directly across the street from my home where one of these units is sitting in the front bedroom. I would say the post where the city light is about 50 feet away from the window. I do not know if it can be set up with a timer, since I have not tried it, primarily because I have it set in automatic, where it turns on by itself right after dark which is when I need it and turns off at first light in the morning, just like I want it to. I hope this helps!

My lock works perfectly, but as for as night viewing no way. My keypad really only lights at the top keys not the lower when any button is pushed. For me, if I forget to turn on a porch light; it is useless to view at night. It would be so nice if the keys would just be visible at night. This is a new battery as I just installed the lock.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

It has a light sensor built-in. When its its day when it's dark it's night.

Hi Night vision is great. I had sensors issues with the first one I lost sound and grid lines after one month.Amazone replaced it no charge .Have this one for 3 months and it's perfect.

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

Mine goes off once it is very bright outside. It stays on well after dawn. It stays on when it is bright enough to read a newspaper right next to the sensor, adjust sprinklers in the hard, drive a car without lights. I emailed customer service about this issue and their answer was: "There are no adjustments to the photo sensor, if the sensor is located under the eave it is possible that it's not receiving enough ambient light to turn it off. Try installing some reflective or mirrored tape close to the sensor to see if that will direct enough light to the sensor to turn it off." I am going to try the tape, but it does not work as promised, and it is an expensive unit. Not happy. Mine goes off once it is very bright outside. It stays on well after dawn.

Its pretty awesome at night. It will go into a night vision phase like the video game call of duty. I have a license plate tag reverse camera on my F150. This Pioneer ND-BC6 blows that away by far. This item is great. I hope I could help. Enjoy life and Chive on!
