Yes, but on my monitor, my face is not completely washed out in the latest video.In the night shots your face is completely washed out, is this due to the IR?
In the last video, everything was at defaults, except I was changing the shutter speeds and the IR was set to auto.@looney2ns are you running the default 3DNR settings for forced color at night? I’m wondering because I see that it is leaving artifacts as you’re walking.

Configuration> Advanced Configuration> System > ServiceI received my IPCT-HDW5431RE-I from Andy last week and got it mounted this weekend. This is my first Hik cam and just started looking at night video this evening. I cannot seem to disable IR in night mode, and when in day (color) mode I do not have access to shutter speeds slower than 1/30. Any thoughts? My firmware version is V5.5.71 build 181206.
Under Configuration I have the following options: System, Network, Video/Audio, Image, Event, Storage. Under Image I have Display Settings dealing with Image Adjustment, Exposure Settings, Day/Night Switch etc.Configuration> Advanced Configuration> System > Service

In the video in post #21, starting at mark 1:03 until mark 2:30, only the cams IR is on.Do your night t videos contain clips of the camera using only it's own IR and not the additional 7.5 and 8watt external eluminators?
I have none of those so I want to make sure I comparing apples to apples with the night view compared to my cameras, thanks.
Mine is apparently different than @fenderman .Under Configuration I have the following options: System, Network, Video/Audio, Image, Event, Storage. Under Image I have Display Settings dealing with Image Adjustment, Exposure Settings, Day/Night Switch etc.
@fenderman was mistaken, he was referring to an older model camera.Mine is apparently different than @fendermans.

You need enough ir light that will let you set the shutter manually to at least 1/30 or 1/60. I like the Tendalux ir's on Amazon.Thanks for locating the ir switch for me. I do not wish to use the camera's ir because I am rural, and the ir brings a snowstorm of bugs to the face of the camera. I do have some neighbors with a few lights on at night; but the nearest is 400ft away. I would consider ir floodlights some distance from the cameras, if necessary. I am looking for starting adjustment settings for these conditions. I have been playing a bit to a point where it looks good; but when I walk in front of the camera I am but a ghost. I have a neighbor whose home can be seen from space at night so his dome cameras don't ever have to go into night mode. I don't want to be that guy.
Paging Dr. @looney2nsSo how does this compare to the 2Mp Dahua Starlight? The sensor is the same size as is the min light requirement?
The specs show the sensor is 1/2.7”, ... so it’s a smidge bigger than the 1/2.8” in the Dahua Starlights.So how does this compare to the 2Mp Dahua Starlight? The sensor is the same size as is the min light requirement?
