I see many listings of the night vision and day vision distances. What is the transmission distance? Thank you

At night, with the infra-red lights, the cameras simply show reflected light. If the camera is pointed at empty space (not pointed at trees, grass, or other objects), the night time picture will be entirely black. The infra-red lights seem to project out roughly 50 feet - of course at that distance at night it will be difficult to pick out many details about the object that is recorded. If there is ambient lighting (street lights, overhead security light, infra-red light provided by other cameras or external IR emitter) it is possible to extend the night time visible area.

Nowhere in the book , does it mention " light transmission " . The scope is bright and clear . The parallax is very sensitive as far as color spectrum . I.E. the black bull and rings on target will look red when out of adjustment . Beside the heavy duplex not bad so far . Light transmission is always listed on Nikons , Zeiss etc. But on a $75 dollar scope ? I don't expect it . If light transmission is critical to your application , I recommend buying a real scope ....

Yes the focus distance is very good. And at that distance very visible at night. On my truck the distance between the camera and the ball hitch is about 11 1/2" and is in perfect focus.

It does have automatic night vision up to 65ft I believe, I haven't needed that much range but the NV seemed decent.

Close to a mirror image for day. By night the IR really is not effective. My brake & backup lights help augment a little for darkness. The IR Blasters that come on the unit just create optical distortion. Good unit for the price I guess, I've seen better ones go for $150 and upwards. Good luck.

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

I am pleased with the laser so far. As for the 15-100 feet I would say that is very true. I can not speak for the yards distance though. I have not tested it that far. An educated guess would say at night it could be see at 100 yards

They have a faint, red glow looking directly at the camera. This is less noticeable the more you go off to the sides. From 30-40 feet away I don't think they would be very noticeable, unless it's pitch black. Although they don't look bright they do provide excellent night vision. I've been very impressed with the image quality.

I don't know. However the night vision keeps going out. I constantly have to reset it. At first i could do it from my phone but now it won't let me. I have to travel a hour and a half t to go home and reset it. Also, after a while it wants you to upgrade for a fee or else you can't watch the videos of movement that took place in the house when you are not home.

Thanx Bryce. Does it have night vision or is it compatible with it? And if the latter then what is the best setup to achieve it?

No the night vision does not work for real. It's misleading in the title. They are real good daytime binoculars though. I recommend (for kids) the Spynet Jakks Pacific Night Vision Goggles. That's what we ended up buying after purchasing these.

Hi, i haven't had a chance to test the night vision but i read the many reviews that said it was more than adequate. Hope that helps.

Hi 15m on the metric conversion calendar = 49 feet of IR night vision described in the info instructions. I sent back my 2 cameras I never got them to work properly without the CD's. Please also check the other on line reviewers. In the beginning all reviews were 5 stars. So I purchased 2 cameras. I agree totally with S R's Review every word is true. . Good luck VRLT.

I have a set of three for each vehicle. At NIGHT, they are really bright--they will really get one's attention a good distance away. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for warning at night. In the DAY, I would not use them at all. In the flash mode, The LED that is directly inline with the eye is sort of visible but at 60 feet away, it won't reach out and grab you. The two LEDs on either side of the one inline with the eye are reduced even more in visibility.Bottom line: At night--awesome. In daytime--not!

Please note that the night vision visibility is around 30ft-60ft depending on the location and the environment you installed in.

The cam connects with BNC...Any IR cam only really does about 1/2 of advertised night vision..i bought a couple power splitters on Amazon and a couple external "illuminators" (ir units).. greatley improved range.
