How do you get the night mode from going in and out. It is flashing so my screen keeps going black and then the picture comes back?

Most likely it's due to the camera being to close to what you're whatching... If you move the camera a bit away, the flashy thing will stop...

We had the same issue, and I'm pretty sure we didn't have it on VOX. We never keep it on VOX. From what I remember, we turned off and unplugged everything and re-paired the camera(s) to reset it. We may have had to do that a couple times (I don't remember exactly), but it did eventually stop. I think we even had 2 cameras at the time, and it only blinked out on one of them?

Make sure the monitor is turned to "on" and not "vox" mode by sliding the on/off switch all the way up. That is the only instance that should make your screen cut to black from the picture intermittently. Vox mode sends the screen to black when no noise is detected and then pops the picture back up when the cameras microphone picks up sounds. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Not too sure why this happens. Never experience this. The only reason that I can think off is when it gets dark the images are displayed by the infra red, night vision properties of the camera.

I would suggest repositioning it in the room, to make sure moving shadows or some other change in light level isn't causing the unit to think it's becoming dark and changing to night mode. Call V-tech support and see what they say, otherwise, yes, I'd agree the unit is defective.

I will have to return it, Just the 2nd day i had it, the screen was acting weird, it will dim and get blurry. Can someone help me before i return it?

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

I am having this exact same issue. I know this is an older posting but I thought I would see if I can ressurect it. I find that if I go to hdmi control and turn the switching off and then back on again it comes to life. sometimes. sometimes it just starts working after a while like it has to warm up or something. did any of you guys figure out what was going on?

I don't know why it keeps flashing. Mine flashes once when I turn it on, then that's it. Wish I could be more helpful.

HI I bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

I think that may have something to do with the camera switching to night mode (black and white) when there is not enough light and then the DVR not recognizing that the camera is still sending a picture-you probably want to leave the setting on AUTO or EXT if possible.

There is a mode where you can turn off the nightlight, but not the display light. I put ducked tape over it and now it is fine.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

Pretty sure I remember it flashing red at night when it takes pics . Can't remember what I does in the day.

When the on-off switch is pressed to "on" the screen lights up bright enough for me to see in the dark. I have not discovered any way to stop the light from coming on, or for making it brighter or darker. The battery seems unaffected by having the light on for a long time, but how can I measure that when it just does its own thing?

It sounds like it is going in pause mode. Try just holding power button until see green light then let go. The only time mine flashes is in pause mode. If it is flashing in pause mode just click the power button one time and the light should stay on steady. Hope this helps.

First off, I've only had the unit for a few days... The only setting I've tweaked is the back-light in 'Standard Picture' mode. I reduced it from the default of 60 down to 50, and it seemed to remove any distracting blooming or flash-lighting effects, of which it is only very slight in the first place, and really only noticeable if your room is dark, and the screen is black.
