The B/W is a factor of the light level... if it is dark, the camera switches automaticly over to black/white with the IR illuminators. You can not control this.

 

Take the camera into a brightly lite room and retest... If still in B/W, then open the battery door for 5 seconds and reclose ( do not re-open door if the camera front leds start to flash during reset )

Can I assume the camera is also showing B/W in a well lite room or daylight ??  If it's below a certain light level, the camera reverts to B/W.

 

Easy to see if camera got a glich, ...  Open the battery door for 5 secs and reclose, test again.  If still running B/W in daylight contact Netgear
