“These cameras are suppose to be color night vision correct? Daytime of course is great but at night It looks to be black and white to me. Is there a way to change it over to color or do we have an issue with the camera's?”

Lorex color at night is false advertising. There is not an adjustment built into the Lorex Flir software for colors to appear as advertised. The only way to get color is to provide additional lighting, such as an outside flood light. Then you will see color. This fact is absurd, and, definitely NOT as advertised. Even worse, if the infrared from the cameras reflect off a white building surface, the camera being used shuts down. Again, the only solution is to add additional lighting. And at night and certain times during the day, depending upon the lighting situation, there are significant problems with there not being enough or to much light. Prior models had numerous adjustmenst built into the software. The adjustments have been removed. The prior adjustment were very easily accessed and were permanent until changed. There are other technical problems. I will not go into them, being your question pertains to color. It is not just color problems, but much more extensive is the reason I added information in addition to your color question. This NVR is a very stripped down version of the prior Lorex NVR surveillance system. My recommendation, if you still have time left is definitely return the Lorex Surveillance system to Best Buy. Very unfortunately my time to return is past. However I definitely will not buy Lorex anything again. Hope getting assistance from Lorex Tech Support in finding a person that know what they are doing is just about zero. I hope this helps. I wish I would have known, before I purchased Lorex. However, never ever again. As a final note, a bad review you may find, is not exaggerated.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have enough light in the area of your camera the view will be in color, if there is not enough light or the lights go out then the camera will show a black and white view. You can force the camera to stay in color mode but if there is not enough light it will probably appear too dark so you will need to put it back on auto so the IR will kick back on. I have several cameras and have color on some and IR (black & white) on the others depending on the lighting. One also goes from color to black & white on the nights there is no moon out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The cameras are color night vision, however they require a certain amount of lumens to be in color at night.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is only color in low light at night it is black and white with full Darkness I had the same issue and same question
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to have some level of light in the view for these to stay in Color during darkness. The wording is a bit deceiving, but if you read the fine print, it explains what is required to function in color at nights.
