    I went out yesterday to pull the card out of my cuddeback capture IR and all the pictures on it were in black and white, both daytime and night. Have any of you guys had this happen? I’m not sure if it is due to the week of 100+ deg. days we have had or what. I put new batteries in it two weeks ago so I’m sure it’s not that. The camera itself is only about a year old and has only been out for a few months or so. Any ideas? :bash::throw:

    Pull the batteries and let it sit for a while, then start over and see if it fixes itself.

    I know newer cameras sense dawn and dusk times and adjust accordingly- meaning they can program themselves. Not sure if the capture IR does that but what was suggested before is worth a try.

    Does it have a new firmware update available? If that hasnet been updated thats also another thing you could try.
