Is Toshiba IK-6410A true day/night?

Recommended Posts

I ordered a Toshiba IK-6410A camera from an online CCTV store (not ebay) from their "True Day/Night" section. I haven't got it yet but from what I've read online since my order I can't find anything that corroborates the "true" day/night (mechanical ir filter) claim from the seller...

I even went to Toshiba and checked the manual - no mention of IR filter at all...

i use that camera for most of my outdoor applications that dont require ir and have decent lighting at night - the camera will flip to b/w at night. for me it does a good job (clear picture) and i haven't had one(knock on wood) go bad in some harsh enviroments

It's going to be in my car. Temp might get up there while it's off, but not in direct sun for the most part. I wanted to go with name brand this time. My biggest problem withthe last camera was it had no IR filter so the grass colors were messed up.

Name brand? Yeah but Toshiba?

 

Anyway if it looks good please let us know .. at that price would be worth it. Perhaps it has a fixed IR Cut Filter, which is still good for most apps, as you dont always need IR, and then the day picture would look good. Although, in that case it may mean it is switching to Night mode digitally, by removing the Chroma, which is not always as sensitive in low light.

Low light sensitivity is not tremendously important becuase I'll always have headlights/hibeams/streetlights etc - so I should be good. My biggest concern is accurate colors and good picture under daylight / headlights
