Hello, and thank you for coming here to our forums regarding your cameras not working in the dark. Have you had the opportunity to factory reset the cameras?

When you say “out there at night” do you mean outside? The camera will not work properly if it’s inside looking out a window. It needs to be positioned outside. If the cameras is looking inside your house even near a window at night in a dark room or with a light on just below it will work. I have two cameras set up outside; one on my back porch looking out at the pool with solar lights on in the distance and a dusk to dawn light on a few feet away from it but above it. If you have white above the camera position it to look down or it will have glare from the white ceiling. My other outdoor camera is set in the trim above a white garage door with no outside light unless a dusk to dawn light goes on about 25’ away on an exterior garage. Are the infrared beams coming on in the darkness? If not the camera is malfunctioning and should be replaced. I recently had an Xcam 1 go bad and my display turned green and then looked like it was snowing in my family room. That camera was replaced with an Xcam 2 and works well in a room with dark paneled walls and a white ceiling.

It's night with scarce lighting. I'm trying, the afore mentioned, tape method on the IR. I'm using black gorilla tape on top of masking tape so the gorilla tape doesn't superstick onto the camera, but I still wanted the dense coverage.
It's working slightly. I can't tell it's like Ultrasound.
