Does this dash cam record at night - infrared?

I have the dashcam 20, and it appears to have no real low-light capability.

During the day it will work, but there might be some reflection depending on the angle and amount of light inside. At night the infrared light will reflect back to the camera and give you glare and it will be impossible to see any thing outside. You can tape over the infrared lights and then put a separate infrared light outside if needed.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

These cameras do include infrared LEDs that turn on automatically as lighting gets dark. There is no manual control to turn these on or off, or to control the intensity. The night vision are much brighter if the camera is used indoors as the light reflects off object or walls; when used outdoors with no reflection of the infrared light, it seems to be less effective unless something/someone comes into foreground view in range of the LED lighting. Also note, if cameras are placed behind glass or a window, the LEDs will reflect intensely and make viewing subjects behind the glass impossible.

To my knowledge it is not infrared, but it is a great little camera. Always check with Best Buy for more complete information

Yes it does record in pretty much any day or night lighting. Be sure that it is not pointed at a light source.

No. But bear in mind that the one I bought did not work at all. Cameras with night vision are larger. I have two on my truck.

No, not IR only. You can test the camera shots in IR. You can set it up for motion, which will capture IR or daylight.

This camera does not record itself, your receiving unit has to have recording ability such as a DVR or a Time Lapse VHS system. The camera simply gives you video of the areas its focused on, but you must have a recording system that the camera connects to. This is an excellent camera with exceptional night vision even in total darkness. I have an 8 camera system using this camera. I highly recommend it.

The "night vision lights are not IR lights they are actually very bright led's which just light up the windshield area of your car making it impossible to see out of the windshield at night. very big flaw in the design also the night vision is not true night vision it will only record what your headlights illuminate

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

It will not record through the window AT NIGHT. The lights on it shine off the window. It works just fine during the day through the window. Better without the screen, but still is fine with the screen. I love this camera in every other way.

Hi Nolan, this Sony HDRCX900/B has a Night Shot feature which emits infrared light to take images on a total darkness. -Ely
