Sorry for the late response
Cctv is all new for me. This is the first time in my life that ive ever installed cameras on my house .
I do have a motion flood light(camera is 5 feet behind it ) in the back of the house that turns on that goes to color, but the color can not penetrate thru dark shadows .so i turn the light off .

the b/w picture looks a lot clearer in live view or play back than the picture show above .
do you consider this a decent average or below average b/w picture?
