still too dark night vision?

[Jeannettef]

I am about to order an Arlo, so I read a lot of questions in this community. One issue two years ago, was that after a firmware up-date, the night vision turned to too dark.  Does that problem still exist?

That's not a normal issue. Without rereading the thread, I don't recall what the issue may have been but firmware updates and night vision aren't a problem.

Here's a night pic... small stump is about 30ft, camera is 6 ft up.

If night vision is a major concern, have a look at the Arlo Pro cameras. They are significantly better in the dark than the original Arlo cameras IMO though I do have a little pixelation and ghosting. The Arlo Pro are also significantly more responsive at detecting motion and have less lag between motion and recording

Here'a Night vision of the PRO in the same location...  wider illumination, more even

I am experiencing the same issue with the wireless camera (5 cam system).. I changed cameras and its still the same.

Without screenshots, we're just shooting in the dark (get it?  🙂  ).  Night vision is limited due to the battery-operated nature and is intended for fairly close subjects.

It is dark right on front of the camera I just bought one 3 days ago it is terrible

Is Night Vision enabled? Again, post screenshots. Daytime and nighttime would be useful.

Thank you....

This is what I get with my newly-bought Arlo pro. It has perfect night-view!
