Do nightvision webcams work if the lights are out in the room? I will be buying a couple of them for use as surveillance cameras.

See if you can guess what "night vision" means.

Yeah but i want to know how good they are. Are they like your in full light? I have never seen one in operation and am never around something like this. Hardly anyone I know in Australia even has a webcam at all.

OK well I got the cameras but it is not giving me night vision. Maybe I have to experiment more with the settings. It doesn't say on the packaging that it has night vision ....do they make all cameras now with that feature and they don't need to say on the packaging that it has it?
MMMmmmm I am just thinking that maybe the subject(a human) has to be close to the camera like in your pic to pick up an image? This is all new to me.

Not all web cams have the night vision feature. What made you think this one did?

It said so on the brochure/price list but after testing this camera more it is better than what i used before. Only as far as resolution. Ah well they didn't cost much. I will keep experimenting then.

So "night vision" in webcams is a fake?

Actually I think I tweaked it to work. It took me forever but now I am getting a decent picture at night. It still could be better(outdoors) but I am sure the nightvision thing works better inside. I also have to have the porch light on in order for it to really be at it's best. There is an option for 'low light' and 'outdoors' plus I sharpened the picture. And contrast....so I have something that is much better now.
