Is the image supposed to look like it's infrared even in daylight? Image is only gray and blue (almost like a negative)

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

This is an artifact of the digital distortion, like the way that the "black" areas around some flat panel TVs are not really black because of the leakage of light through the pixel layer. The best thing to do is to have a proper screen - one that is highly reflective - and dial the image in to fit the screen perfectly. The highly reflective surface will provide a level of contrast that will make the gray surround far less noticeable.

Mine too. Given the language issues in the user manual... I'm sure this is just a firmware variation. I also noticed that the menu says infrared LED, while the LED on my unit is visibly white.

Yes, The IR is daylight visible. I have had mine on in the bright daylight and I get a decent RD, but the good thing about this is that it already has a black dot reticle so that really don't need your IR for bright days. Thats what I really like about the Mueller Speed shot. If your battery goes out for what ever reason you still have the ability to get on target, so this essentially is your back up. I did put mine on a QD mount and I do have BUIS just in case the optic is damaged I can still shot with out it. I hope this helps.

This is not an infrared light, as advertised, these are ultraviolet LEDs. True infrared lights are hardly visible unless you are very close and look directly at the source, if visible it appears as a low emission red light. Regarding IR filters, I am not sure.

I think the two images may be different due to lighting? Mine is a beautiful finish that is more similar to the aged image, but when under direct light, it does look shiny and new. I am extremely happy with this unit, and I hope you will be too. Good Luck, R.

I would say it's a little gray with tones of brown. It looks like the image.

I printed an 8x10 photo of my car in the daylight and it came out great. I took a photo inside the house with not so great light and it came out a little dark and slightly grainy. This was a 5x7 picture. I just got the camera this week so I am still fooling around with it. I'm working with Photoshop Elements 4 (5 on order) to see if it can help out with the low light pics.

Your light is not defective. I have two of these and they do the same thing. I'm pretty sure that it's either uv, or infrared.

Not me, but if there is glass in front of it (like a storm door) it is useless at night due to the reflected glare of the infrared. I covered the infrared led's.

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light! http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

The image is pretty good. I don't notice any bluriness, the only spot it loses detail is the very brightest part, because I adjusted the image settings to show more shadow detail. Zoomed in, sharp lines are just 2-3 pixels wide. Small details in the wall texture or tree trunks show just fine. At night it shows a good image under street lights, but note that it is not infrared or "night vision."

If you are looking for a response from a technical perspective, I am unable to provide an answer for you. However, from a lamen's persepective, I was able to view the screen with no visual indication of the pixels. The images were all clear. I hope this is helpful.

Look at the image on the box it arrived in, this also shows the same. I have one and that's just the way it is. Look at the screen closely and from an angle and you'll see what I mean.

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.

Hello, I bought a light source that looks exactly like the one pictured here. So, it is probably what you are researching. I have been told that my cameras need 820 to 850 nm, but when I hooked up the ir light, there was no illumination at night. If I turned the light directly to the camera about 8 feet away, the front panel of the light was white, but it didn't illuminate anything when turned away, I mean nothing. What a dissapointment. I don't know what else I can try. The ring of ir lights that are inside the glass dome around my cameras are useless, if I turn on those lights, the glare from the glass dome is way to bright to see much of anything.Good luck, Dan Hello, I bought a light source that looks exactly like the one pictured here.
