Blink cameras may not be in color during low-light conditions. This is because they switch to infrared (IR) mode to provide better visibility in the dark. Make sure the camera isn’t in a dimly lit area, or consider adding extra lighting to help the camera capture color images. Checking the camera settings to see if it is set to operate in IR mode exclusively can also be helpful.
FAQs & Answers
- Why does my Blink camera switch to black and white at night? Blink cameras use infrared mode in low-light conditions to improve visibility, which results in black and white images instead of color.
- Can I make my Blink camera record in color at night? You can enable color recording by ensuring the camera has sufficient lighting and checking that it is not set to operate exclusively in infrared mode.
- Does infrared mode affect the image quality of Blink cameras? Infrared mode improves visibility in the dark but results in black and white images, which may appear less detailed compared to color footage.
