During the day the light exposure is really bright. I have it at 50% which is very bright on our drive way and it washes out any images. I have to manually move the brightness to 25% then move it back to 50% at night to view IR footage. Should this be an automatic feature, with the price of the camera?! Also in IR mode it's not very clear and during the day video images are pixelated not clear.

The camera does have autoexposure but can't handle every situation the same. Given that this is a Go, it's hard to make suggestion that I would normally make such as adding exterior lighting for nighttime but may be possible with either AC power being available or use of a battery-operated light. Your screenshot looks fine - what brightness setting was that taken with?

 

As for the pixelation, that's not the normal stuff folks complain about - it's smaller than others. What quality setting is the camera using in Settings for the camera? It may be on Best Battery Life which lowers resolution to 320p, I think. Use of Optimized may be a better choice.
