IR night vision not working

[Zaryl]

I’ve bought a Seeseetv Droid 1080p mini cctv.

Before this, the night vision was working fine.
I put it at my kitchen, so at night, after 12am i will switch off the lights.
Before this, the lights stay on.

Then few days after that, the IR LED didn’t work anymore.
I didn’t update the firmware version at all (comes with the default firmware when i first bought the camera).
During day, the cctv works just fine and giving sharp image too.

I asked the seller which i bought the camera. He said to turn on the IR light setting manually.
But i failed to find it.

How to fix this problem?
I don’t want to buy an external IR illuminator because i think that will be messy & i have no more plug points available.

Please help. Thanks.

Check the lighting of the environment where the camera is installed. If there is too much ambient light in the area the night vision may not engage. ... If the lights turn on, move the camera, or turn it slightly, as there may be light shining in the camera lens.

Thankyou, that worked for me. It was the street light stopping my infra red engaging. Cheers
