How much does lighting affect the camera view?

How much does lighting affect the camera view?

One of my cameras is not providing a clear view at night.  How can i check if it is a faulty camera or is it just under the lighting threshold for a clear picture?

A good way to check if the camera is faulty is to move it temporarily to another location and check to see if you experience the same behavior. A poorly lit environment can certainly negatively impact the picture quality, I recommend the test above as well as adjusting the lighting in the immediate environment to see if you experience different results.
