Why cant I see anybody walk around my car when its dark

new . return it under warranty
old check for software update or make sure that in the settings you have night vision turned on

It's going into ir sound like you are not supplying enough power to the cameras or you might have a timer on you system

At night can you see the red led's ? If not they are not working. Make sure in camera settins if there is a option to enable night vision. If you mean at night it is fuzzy cloudy then it could be led's are bouncing light back creating a hazy whitish image. Or lens is dirty on the inside which it happens. Last is low end low quality cameras

Nearly all cameras work well in the day. Night vision depends on the type of camera and the technology it is using. For example a CMOS based camera will provide a very poor quality picture in the dark. A CCD Super HAD CCD II will provide a good picture with 0.01 illumination and a EXVie HAD CCD II will provide an even better picture with lux of 0.001. You really need to look at the specifications of the camera before you buy and not go with the "Platinum" or hype keywords used by the manufacturer. I have seen a lot of SWAN Cameras which are basically useless at night.

change the camera is the best solution

If the LEDS are truly for night vision only, then they are most likely Infra-Red types, invisible to the human eye, but visible to camera sensor. A way to test if they are IR and working is to point another digital camera directly at the front of the security camera at night.
The cell phone or webcam sensor will see IR LED's as white spots.
As for this model coming with night vision, I don't know.

Actually you can get glow in the dark pet leashes. They're a great invention. Best is to the get the one that recharge in daylight, so they can be full when you head out at night. Try this website: http://www.lovemypetsgps.com/lovemypets-leash-p-30.html

1. It should go to automatic night vision. If this feature is not working then the answer to will a flashlight work the answer is not very well. The light will have to be on the child and a flashlight does not have much light behind it. Perhaps if you put a small lamp on a dresser that shines on the area the child is, this may work enough to keep an eye on him/her. A flashlight not so much. Hope this helps.

• If you can manually change the sensitivity ie iso you will get better images in low light. My digital camera on auto is not good in low light but I do the above and get satisfactory images.good luck...jw
  

there isn't a night vision mode i don't think... I've had this camera for a while and i havn't been able to find it.... BUT .... I did find something else that you could use sometime...
1)click the MENU button (M)
2) click left 3 times
3) then you have options for auto, daylight, cloudy, tungsten, and fluorescent.
