This camera has worked well and had a great night time immage. I charged it recently and not the night time picture is HORRIBLE.

Did the lighting change at all? It depends heavily on lighting conditions for the color night vision, so if you changed anything nearby it could effect it.

Nothing has changed with lighting. Its in the same place it has been since I bought the cam. Same outdoor light. The auto night feature is on. I just all of the sudden started havign a very dark picture.

Do you have a picture when it was working well?
