do the cameras illuminate in either red or white or what color when there is movement ?

Dear Customer, Thank you for your interest in our product. There is no Indicating light for movement. Thank you. Best Regards, Soltech Security

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 think there is only infrared function for night shot. You can take white-black video at night not color one

In infrared only, not visible light. Night pictures will be recorded in black and white.

The lights have an on/off switch. It's not like a off camera flash. So they're constantly on.

These are motion controlled. if when switching to different camera and no motion detected it will not show any thing

Yes... Low accent light until motion then downward facing spotlight lights path with movement. They work great.

I thought my camera had a red light visible at night. Sometimes the animals are looking straight into the lens even though the camera is well hidden in a tree. I will double check and update tomorrow.

I have several and I am very happy with this camera. The color changes to a amber hue during the dusk and dawn hours but the object remain clearly visible. They have a good range in total darkness with the IR on, but you won't make out a lot of detail.

As with all IR lights I am aware of, there is a dull red glow if you look directly at the emitters at night. This camera has fantastic night vision.

Although the display is color, nighttime images are pretty much black and white unless there is a strong light source, typical of video cameras in general, the less light the less color comes through. IR only images are also like viewing B&W. Color and picture are superb in full sunshine.

Yes they are color cameras, actually quite good in daylight conditions. At night infrared sensors take over and black and white images are captured. If there is a near enough light source some colors can be detected at night.

That's a loaded question, the camera in order to view any image at night uses infrared lighting and so the image is not in color. But during the day yes it is color images you will see.

The IR leds on mine are not visible at all, however, the camera's on/off and mode indicator LEDs on the back are SUPER intense. These LEDs shine through a slit in the camera body, so that you can see them to know what mode you're in, but in a pitch black room you can see them project across a room!

Yes, the LED panel lights up in red for a second but then goes off but only at night. Day pictures are chystal clear and has a long depth range! Has to be where nobody would be able to mess with it. I mounted mine just out of hands reach to stop this problem I was having. Over all I am impressed with the camera. I would like a little bit more clarity at night..but for the price I have no complaints.

No daylight flash, only IR, so you see nothing. The shutter is extremely quiet. I've walked around in front of the activated camera many times and can't hear anything. The biggest issue is hiding it, so humans don't spot it.

The opaque redish area will be the area that triggers the camera to record for motion.
