Have the v1 ultras, been tinkering around in settings too improve nightvision, cause I feel it's been degrading in quality!? No matter what settings I use it's not crisp at night like used to be when new.. of course the lensens erc. Is clean.

What settings seems to be best? Feels like I'm missing a setting.

Thanks

Hi Mikolino,

 

Do you have a screenshot that shows the image/video looking degraded? You can read this article to see if this helps: How do I get better picture quality from my Arlo camera?

Relocated 3 cameras today. Gonna take a look when it's dark in 3-4 hours (if I'm awake, otherwise I hope a cat triggers one of'em)

The screenshot actually looks rather normal for use of night vision. The IR LEDs aren't going to light up the area like the spotlight would. Check your camera video settings and verify that the spotlight is enabled. That will be brighter and provide color recording.
