Hello. Just upgraded from a regular 1080p Hik the 4k of the title.

I noticed at night, the car lights (front and rear) appear black! Is that some kind of setting that I have to change?

Thanks!

You are running auto shutter/exposure by the look of it so you are getting bad motion blurring. Try a fixed 1/125 - 1/60.

Plus you are running B/W and have the wrong lens for covering the street and getting anything that can ID someone or something at that distance, so focus on getting clean non blurry images of the wheelhouse for that lens which would be a distance no more than 15 feet from that camera...anything much beyond 15 feet will be useless anyway for identification so it doesn't matter if that area is too dark to be seen...
