WHY WHY WHY Do people insist on doing mute tutorials or reviews with annoying music playing ? I know I can turn the music off but shit I enjoying interaction. Show us you got what it takes to do a live review.
Because first of all, many people do not understand English well and secondly I have a strong accent on English pronunciation. Nevertheless, I will be able to make my videos in French, German or Luxemburgish, but in this case the audience will be very limited.
Thank you Meisech for making this very informative video. I read all the questions and answers with your comments at below. I appreciate making the Daniu manual available on Google Drive. On some of those repeated questions, I must say, you have the patience of a saint! On the subject matter, I was looking for a no WiFi needed camera. Using "Motion Detection" mode, this is exactly what I need to find out what kind of a Rodent (Mouse, Rat, Squirrel, etc..) visits my dark attic, once in a great while! I had several "Adhesive Sheets" nailed to a piece of plywood with some cashews in the middle. Some angry gnawing mammal left behind a lot of gray fur on those glue sheets! I bought a medium size animal trap already. After watching your review, I ordered a mini XD camera and one Samsung 32 GB microSDHC card to record and hopefully trap the culprit, before I can seal all its entrances to the attic. Thanks again for the video.
The Daniu is unfortunately not the best camera I have presented. There are other cameras that are more efficient and better suited to your needs, such as the Quelima SQ13 or the Quelima SQ23, for example. Another alternative would be a trail camera. A method to identify the animal would be to pour chalk on its path. That way you could identify the tracks it leaves during its passage.

Great review @Meisech. Can you suggest me some micro small cameras like Mini XD or smaller than this? I need it to record atleast 100+ minutes with the memory card inserted once and battery charged once or with mini power bank. Thanks in advance. Currently I am considering SQ11,13,23 too.
So, my favorite camera so far is the Quelima SQ23. The camera is a little bigger than the Daniu, but the quality of the recording as well as the features of the camera convinced me.
@@aimanhossain538 Sorry, for now I do not know any cameras smaller than the Daniu. You should know that the Daniu does not have an internal battery.That's the reason why it is so small. The only smaller cameras I know are integrated in spy-pens.

If you are interested in real surveillance camera, then I suggest buying a more professional model. If on the other hand you are interested in a miniaturized surveillance camera, then I suggest viewing my videos on Quelima cameras. But all of them have a weak point, nighttime viewing. Two other cameras that are of interest are the Xiaomi Dafang and the Xiaomi Hualei.
The purple dominant is due to "Infrared pollution". With a simple IR-cut filter (like ones uses inside gopros etc), I'm sure it will be ok. These little glasses are very cheap and can be found easily on Amazon, Ebay, etc... The modern car's windscreens are treated against IR , UV and are sometime using a polarizing layout.. That's why the colors are not purple-ish in your car. The road signs looks like french. Etes vous français ?

@@nkovacs42 Also, contact automotive window tinting shops in your area. I got a huge box of scraps from my local one for free. Could easily make 100+ filters for my Session and Hawkeye Firefly with them.
@@MBrulla the automotive tint has the opposite effect. It does not cut IR. It lets all the IR through and cuts visible light. Multiple layers will cut almost all visible light, but appear transparent to cameras like this. I have used this effect on mine to make an "IR-only" camera. Therefore those scraps would be worthless to the goal of this post, but great for making a greyscale IR camera. If you used such a camera in fluorescent or LED lighting, the image would be dark, but outdoors and incandescent lighting are bright.
What camera would you recommend for me I have a pick up truck and people keep throwing stuff in the back I need a good camera at night and can record for 8hrs any suggestion? That blitz thing you have how long will it keep that camera running ?
The night vision of all these small cameras is usable but is in no way comparable with a real surveillance camera. You have two options: if your truck is lit at night, then you don't especially need a night vision camera. If there is no light at all, then you need a night vision camera equipped with 6 to 8 infra-red LEDs. Unfortunately the night vision of these small cameras does not exceed 2 to 3m, but if you can place it in a suitable place, it will be enough to identify the perpetrators. Regarding the recording time there are also 2 possibilities: either you connect the camera to a USB charger on your cigarette lighter if it provides energy even if the engine is cut off or you connect it to a power bank. Note however that most of these cameras are equipped with SD cards with a maximum capacity of 32GB, which is not enough for the recording of 8 hours in a row. On the other hand, all these cameras can record in a loop. This means when the card is full, recording continues by overwriting the oldest file.
If I understand correctly, you want to connect the camera directly to your smartphone to be able to read the files that are on the card. No, this is not possible because the camera does not have a built-in battery. When you connect it to your smartphone, the camera is then only supplied with power and does not allow data transmission.
@@colossodirodi4340 Simply search Google for 'Power bank' or search for 'Power Bank' at Amazon. If you want your camera to be active for 24 hours, I suggest a 10,000mA power bank. But be careful, the SD card cannot store 24 hours of video. It will overwrite the oldest file.
Hola, tengo una y no sé por qué no consigo hacer que grabe, grabé dos videos y luego la puse a cargar y ya no consigo que grabe nada. Aprieto el botón de encendido y se enciende la luz azul, luego aparece otra como entre morada rosa junto con la azul, parpadean varias veces y se apagan. Y tampoco sé cuándo se ha cargado la cámara, porque no aparece ningún indicador de cargada.
First, the DANIU cannot be charged because it does not have a battery. So you need a permanent external power source. To start the camera, just press the motion detection button. A blue LED lights up. To record, press the 'record' button. The blue LED flashes several times, then turns off. To stop recording, press 'record' button again. The blue LED is on again. To activate motion detection, when the camera is on (blue LED on), short press the motion detection button. The LED then flashes alternately blue and red, then goes out. The camera is now in 'motion detection' mode. To end the 'motion detection' mode, press the motion detection button again. The LED is again blue. To stop the camera, press the motion detection button for 2-3 seconds. As the camera has limits, I suggest using another camera, like the SQ23 for example.

bonjour quel conseil en dehors de la blitz wolf , mini batterie longue durée ça a du évoluer depuis ? ! en vidéo de surveillance pro avec une batterie autonome un avis ? merci
Once the card is inserted with the modified data, they will be transferred to the main memory. It doesn't matter if you turn off the device or remove the card, the time, date and other data will stay up to date. If, on the other hand, the internal battery is completely drained after a very long period of inactivity, it will then be necessary to recharge the battery and reconfigure the data.
@@renebea9 Sorry, you are absolutely right, I was confused it with another camera. You are also right about the time and date settings. The Daniu must be permanently connected to a source so as not to lose data. Once disconnected, it is necessary to re-enter the current data. I don't know if you can remove the card with the camera connected to a power source. In my opinion this can damage the SD card.
The camera which is shown in my video has no battery. Some TH-camrs nevertheless claim to have found the same camera with battery. But so far I have found on the Internet just a variant with WiFi.
I do not know where will have read this, but I can assure you that none of the cameras contain mercury. It is simply made up of infra-red LEDs and an objective which is equipped with a special filter.
I just made some experiences with that camera and I guess it sucks a lot of battery power so it gets quite hot even in move detection mode....so when I use a small power bank how long it will last to fill a 32 Gigabyte memory card?, (I dont know how much mA/h my power bank has, its a pocket size round cylinder)
Ok, let's do a little calculation: for 5 minutes of recording, the space consumption on the micro-SD is around 577 Mb. So to fill a 32Gb SD card you can record for about 4.5 hours. Unfortunately, I do not have any data concerning the consumption of the camera in recording mode. My camera unfortunately does not have a battery. The only way to know how much the camera is consuming is to open the camera and see how many mA are marked on the battery label. Then you have to let the camera record until the battery is empty. Note the recording time. Let's do a hypotetic calculation: If the battery is a 200mA battery and it can record for 20 minutes, then we will divide the 4.5 hours (270minutes) by 20. This tells us that we need a power supply that is capable of delivering 13.5 * 200mA, so an external power supply of 2700mA.
I don't know if there is a function to turn off IR from the app. In any case, this will only be possible with the camera integrating WiFi. I can't tell you because I don't own this camera.
All cameras like this will have a random color cast because there is no IR filter like normal cameras. This allows the night-vision IR function to be possible. This effect is not avoidable and is not a quality issue. If you want normal quality colors, put an IR filter in front of the lens.
@@Marky6470 When you turn on the camera, a blue LED lights up, indicating that the camera is in standby mode. When you now press the record button, the blue LED flashes twice, then recording starts. During recording, no LED is lit. Press the record button again to stop recording
The camera automatically switches to infrared mode if the ambient light is too weak. In the dark, you can see the IR LEDs that light up very dimly. If you want to know if your IR LEDs are working correctly, just record in the dark and point the camera at a mirror.
@@Meisech Currently DIY products are something targeting a business concern also so if a cam with ir or night vision can attract a military contracts like "nano Fpv of PD-100"
Like all these devices, the charging voltage is 5V. You can charge the camera with a normal phone charger, on an power bank or on the USB port of your computer.
There is no camera reset button. In fact, whenever you plug the camera into a power supply, the factory settings are applied. Most of the time, the SD card is at fault. Try with another micro SD card that does not exceed 32Gb and is formatted in FAT32. If the problem persists, then the camera has a fault.
The card is simply not recognized because a card larger than 32GB needs to be formatted with exFAT. A card up to 32GB is formatted with FAT32. Camera electronics do not support exFAT.
Can you please explain how to connect to an Android phone or tablet? Im using the camera for home security. I prefer the wyze cams because it has an app i can see recorded events and watch them live but this xd mini was cheaper and connects to an Android. I purchased the sq11 and returned it because it doesn't.
The Daniu can not be connected to a phone or tablet because it has no WiFi. If you want a camera that can be connected to an Android device, I recommend buying the Quelima SQ13 or the Quelima SQ23.
Hi i bought one. Try to connect to wifi by phone no succes. I dont know if it has battary or need to be connected to USB for power. I thought i bought wifi :(
It's a bit confusing with this camera. Some TH-camrs claim this camera has WiFi, others claim that there is a battery powered model. In any case mine has no battery or WiFi. If the camera has WiFi, the AP should be displayed in your WiFi connections on your smartphone. If WiFi is displayed, connect. Now you need an app to be able to manage the camera.
Yes, there is a new wifi camera as same size as this camera. Please check it on Amazon.com : www.amazon.com/dp/B07HVGCG1C You are welcome to purchase anytime.
Its very choppy but a HD cam at a weight of 8g is impressive. Its obviously not an action camera its designed to sit on a shelf catching a burglars face in HD.

It is normal that the the blue LED is on and the red LED is flashing when connecting to a computer. In your Windows software you have to choose the correct camera driver. You need a 'TIGA Device' driver which is installed automatically when you first connect the camera to the computer. You can not record on the SD-card when the camera is connected to an USB port of your computer. In this case you can only record using a specific Windows acquiring software, like the 'Debut Video Capture' software. If you like to record on the SD card, you need an external power supply, like a phone charger or a power bank to power the camera.

This purple color happen because the camera is picking up infrared spectrum. The colors look normal inside the car because the glass doesn't allow IR and UV to pass through. The camera does capture IR because it have nightvision that is nothing but picking up IR emmited by its LEDs.

Thank you for making this video. I am looking for the best/small camera with motion detection that can record in low light. Someone broke into my car and stole everything I had inside my car, including my insurance information.
Not too bad I had bought a small body camera one time for my job as a security officer and I noticed a blue tint also not saying that this is the same issues but after a couple of months of using it I was really disappointed, but one day while on duty I bumped in to a security officer that worked at a city garage and noticed he had the same camera so I asked him about the blue tint he he stated that there’s a plastic protection on the glass that it’s not noticeable that he took off and the blue tint went away lol....
You're the man. In fact, there is a purple filter on the lens, but it will be very difficult to remove this filter as you need to remove the shell to access the lens The shell is glued. Nevertheless, I will try to disassemble the device even if I have to break the shell. I am also aware when removing the filter, the IR function will no longer work, but its not a problem for me. Anyway, thanks for this really useful information.
I was looking precisely for a comparison between these exact two models of camera, so big thank you!

The one that weighs 19 grams has an internal battery where the other does not. I would rather have the one that has it's own power source.
I am going to return it because you have to plug it in somewhere to make it work, no power source of its own.
The version with a battery only lasts about an hour. It's worth investing in a smaller power pack that has some decent battery capabilities.

That purple coloration is due to the lack of IR (cut) filter.
Do you know if there is a possibility to prevent this ?
That camera has the filter purposedly left out. It has IR leds to illuminate in the dark and so to have those 'effective' (2 tiny leds probably good for 5-10 inches anyway) you have to let the sensor 'see' IR. (Some make it art to photograph IR sensitive, check IR photography.) Cheap 'night vision' stuff simply has no IR cut filter and so can pick up IR light. More advanced day/night cameras (in cctv world) has movable IR filter ('ON' daytime, 'OFF' by night), like tiny filter glass moved in front/off the light path, you can search (ebay, google pics) on C, CS, M12 mount day/night IR filter, it is a drop in replacement for said mount board camera lens mounts with a piece of IR cut glass moved by a solenoid.
For your case I recommend to glue an IR cut filter in front of your camera lens (by photos looks like your camera has a pinhole lens, try to put the filter over the pinhole and glue (epoxy) the perimeter), search for IR cut filter on ebay, should be around a buck a piece.
The design preferences were better night vision vs. proper color on a budget...

@@MBrulla the automotive tint has the opposite effect. It does not cut IR. It lets all the IR through and cuts visible light. Multiple layers will cut almost all visible light, but appear transparent to cameras like this. I have used this effect on mine to make an "IR-only" camera.
Therefore those scraps would be worthless to the goal of this post, but great for making a greyscale IR camera. If you used such a camera in fluorescent or LED lighting, the image would be dark, but outdoors and incandescent lighting are bright.
They leave the IR filters outfor Night vision.
My question is how can you show examples of how the camera looks outside if it has to be plugged in to use it? Just curious 😊
The magic word - 'Powerbank'
What camera would you recommend for me I have a pick up truck and people keep throwing stuff in the back I need a good camera at night and can record for 8hrs any suggestion? That blitz thing you have how long will it keep that camera running ?
The night vision of all these small cameras is usable but is in no way comparable with a real surveillance camera. You have two options: if your truck is lit at night, then you don't especially need a night vision camera. If there is no light at all, then you need a night vision camera equipped with 6 to 8 infra-red LEDs. Unfortunately the night vision of these small cameras does not exceed 2 to 3m, but if you can place it in a suitable place, it will be enough to identify the perpetrators. Regarding the recording time there are also 2 possibilities: either you connect the camera to a USB charger on your cigarette lighter if it provides energy even if the engine is cut off or you connect it to a power bank. Note however that most of these cameras are equipped with SD cards with a maximum capacity of 32GB, which is not enough for the recording of 8 hours in a row. On the other hand, all these cameras can record in a loop. This means when the card is full, recording continues by overwriting the oldest file.
Can I use my phone instead the computer
If I understand correctly, you want to connect the camera directly to your smartphone to be able to read the files that are on the card. No, this is not possible because the camera does not have a built-in battery. When you connect it to your smartphone, the camera is then only supplied with power and does not allow data transmission.
1080p? At what frame rate? Looks like Russian dashcam footage from 2005.
30 fps. @11:19 specifications
Just one question: "How can you walk around and record video, if the camera needs to be constantly connected to the electric power ?
You can connect it to a power bank
@@Meisech wow. Please could you help me ? Could you show me some power bank on Amazon that can allow the camera to work 24 hours ?
@@colossodirodi4340 Simply search Google for 'Power bank' or search for 'Power Bank' at Amazon. If you want your camera to be active for 24 hours, I suggest a 10,000mA power bank. But be careful, the SD card cannot store 24 hours of video. It will overwrite the oldest file.
@@Meisech whats the maximum number of hours that the SD card can store?
@@JoaoPereira-hw3pw Around 4.5 hours. It depends on the light conditions.
Hola, tengo una y no sé por qué no consigo hacer que grabe, grabé dos videos y luego la puse a cargar y ya no consigo que grabe nada.
Aprieto el botón de encendido y se enciende la luz azul, luego aparece otra como entre morada rosa junto con la azul, parpadean varias veces y se apagan.
Y tampoco sé cuándo se ha cargado la cámara, porque no aparece ningún indicador de cargada.
First, the DANIU cannot be charged because it does not have a battery. So you need a permanent external power source. To start the camera, just press the motion detection button. A blue LED lights up. To record, press the 'record' button. The blue LED flashes several times, then turns off. To stop recording, press 'record' button again. The blue LED is on again. To activate motion detection, when the camera is on (blue LED on), short press the motion detection button. The LED then flashes alternately blue and red, then goes out. The camera is now in 'motion detection' mode. To end the 'motion detection' mode, press the motion detection button again. The LED is again blue. To stop the camera, press the motion detection button for 2-3 seconds. As the camera has limits, I suggest using another camera, like the SQ23 for example.

When used as a dashcam, do you have to press the on button everytime u want to record? Or once it has power connected it will power on byitself?
Yes, you have to turn on the camera manually as well as start the recording. Unfortunately it will not start automatically when powered.
I bet that the odd colours are due to missing ir or ultra violet filters.
Exact
bonjour quel conseil en dehors de la blitz wolf , mini batterie longue durée ça a du évoluer depuis ? ! en vidéo de surveillance pro avec une batterie autonome un avis ? merci
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
Should it be connected to the cable to be used?? Thanks
Some people claim that there are DANIU cameras with built-in batteries. Mine has no battery. So it must be permanently connected to a power source.
does it also reset/back to original saved time when sd card is removed but i did not unplug the power, only turn off on switch?
Once the card is inserted with the modified data, they will be transferred to the main memory. It doesn't matter if you turn off the device or remove the card, the time, date and other data will stay up to date. If, on the other hand, the internal battery is completely drained after a very long period of inactivity, it will then be necessary to recharge the battery and reconfigure the data.
@@Meisech it doesn't have an internal battery. only power on usb outlet.
@@renebea9 Sorry, you are absolutely right, I was confused it with another camera. You are also right about the time and date settings. The Daniu must be permanently connected to a source so as not to lose data. Once disconnected, it is necessary to re-enter the current data. I don't know if you can remove the card with the camera connected to a power source. In my opinion this can damage the SD card.
@@Meisech i'd stop recording and turning off (not unplug power) before i remove the sd card to not damage my sd card.
Hy, how big it is the battery on this and how long kann you record? In the night the infrared lamps could you be able to seen it? Thanks
The camera which is shown in my video has no battery. Some TH-camrs nevertheless claim to have found the same camera with battery. But so far I have found on the Internet just a variant with WiFi.
@@Meisech thanks for your answer, i thought it has a battery, you have also to have it all the time connected to a power source...
What application does this camera use?
There is no app for this camera because it does not have a WiFi module.
does it contain mercury? I heard that IR camera is dangerous cause it has MCT and it slowly goes to the air
I do not know where will have read this, but I can assure you that none of the cameras contain mercury. It is simply made up of infra-red LEDs and an objective which is equipped with a special filter.
I just made some experiences with that camera and I guess it sucks a lot of battery power so it gets quite hot even in move detection mode....so when I use a small power bank how long it will last to fill a 32 Gigabyte memory card?, (I dont know how much mA/h my power bank has, its a pocket size round cylinder)
Ok, let's do a little calculation: for 5 minutes of recording, the space consumption on the micro-SD is around 577 Mb. So to fill a 32Gb SD card you can record for about 4.5 hours. Unfortunately, I do not have any data concerning the consumption of the camera in recording mode. My camera unfortunately does not have a battery. The only way to know how much the camera is consuming is to open the camera and see how many mA are marked on the battery label. Then you have to let the camera record until the battery is empty. Note the recording time. Let's do a hypotetic calculation: If the battery is a 200mA battery and it can record for 20 minutes, then we will divide the 4.5 hours (270minutes) by 20. This tells us that we need a power supply that is capable of delivering 13.5 * 200mA, so an external power supply of 2700mA.
Could I use a 3.6v battery to power it?
That could work, too, but I've never tried it. Instead of using a 1S battery, it might be better to use a 2S battery with a 5V BEC.
We can remove the IR WITH application ??????
I don't know if there is a function to turn off IR from the app. In any case, this will only be possible with the camera integrating WiFi. I can't tell you because I don't own this camera.
@@Meisech thank you 🌸
@@fleurdeneige2268 You're welcome
All cameras like this will have a random color cast because there is no IR filter like normal cameras. This allows the night-vision IR function to be possible. This effect is not avoidable and is not a quality issue. If you want normal quality colors, put an IR filter in front of the lens.
Does these cameras have wifi?
There are two models, one with and one without WiFi. The link for the WiFi camera is in the comments window.
how do you activate the night vision ?? you forgot to demo ... how its done??
The intelligent IR-CUT function can automatically activate/deactivate the night vision upon the ambient environment change.
Help . Night. Or ir cut. Not work
How to night mode?
Night mode is activated automatically when the camera detects low light conditions. If not, then there is a problem with the camera.
@@Meisech does it has light(blinking) when recording or it doesnt light at all?
@@Marky6470 When you turn on the camera, a blue LED lights up, indicating that the camera is in standby mode. When you now press the record button, the blue LED flashes twice, then recording starts. During recording, no LED is lit. Press the record button again to stop recording
in full darkness when you turn off ro light then IR leds when glow then we can see? or it's invisible
The camera automatically switches to infrared mode if the ambient light is too weak. In the dark, you can see the IR LEDs that light up very dimly. If you want to know if your IR LEDs are working correctly, just record in the dark and point the camera at a mirror.
can this mini camera record when it is not plugged in?
No, there is no battery. Somebody once told me that there would also be a battery-powered Daniu, but I never found one.
@@Meisech well thats shit if u cant use this alone without cables
Can we use this on our DIY drones
This camera is not intended for use with drones. I advise the Hawkeye Firefly mini 160 °. I have published a video about this camera.
@@Meisech ya I have seen it but it don't have ir or night vision
@@BharathwajK IR anyway is useless on these little cameras. The maximum operating distance is 1-3m.
@@Meisech Currently DIY products are something targeting a business concern also so if a cam with ir or night vision can attract a military contracts like "nano Fpv of PD-100"
Is it a specific SD card u have to used. I know 32 sd. A certain SD card that is referred to used for the cam.
I mostly use class 10 cards when I record in FullHD because of the high bit rate.
I have a 64 gb sd card
Will that not work and record?
No, it is limited to 32Gb.
How many volts does it require??? 5v or does it have a regulator that drops it to 3.3v
Like all these devices, the charging voltage is 5V. You can charge the camera with a normal phone charger, on an power bank or on the USB port of your computer.
hello voice recording ?
can somebody tell me why when i try to stop recording it just flashes 3 times and it doesn't go on standby mode as it should
Maybe the camera is defective or there is a problem with the SD card. Try to reformat the max 32Gb SD card.
it is giving me red and blue light how to reset the camera?
There is no camera reset button. In fact, whenever you plug the camera into a power supply, the factory settings are applied. Most of the time, the SD card is at fault. Try with another micro SD card that does not exceed 32Gb and is formatted in FAT32. If the problem persists, then the camera has a fault.
What happens if you put more then 32 g of storage
The card is simply not recognized because a card larger than 32GB needs to be formatted with exFAT. A card up to 32GB is formatted with FAT32. Camera electronics do not support exFAT.
Can you please explain how to connect to an Android phone or tablet? Im using the camera for home security. I prefer the wyze cams because it has an app i can see recorded events and watch them live but this xd mini was cheaper and connects to an Android. I purchased the sq11 and returned it because it doesn't.
The Daniu can not be connected to a phone or tablet because it has no WiFi. If you want a camera that can be connected to an Android device, I recommend buying the Quelima SQ13 or the Quelima SQ23.
Hi i bought one. Try to connect to wifi by phone no succes. I dont know if it has battary or need to be connected to USB for power. I thought i bought wifi :(
It's a bit confusing with this camera. Some TH-camrs claim this camera has WiFi, others claim that there is a battery powered model. In any case mine has no battery or WiFi. If the camera has WiFi, the AP should be displayed in your WiFi connections on your smartphone. If WiFi is displayed, connect. Now you need an app to be able to manage the camera.
So it has to be connected to record
Yes, unfortunately no built-in battery
Does the camera always have to be on charge to work
The camera has no battery, so it must be connected to an external power supply
Man please can you tell me how to set the camera to overwrite the files when the sd card is full ? and how to set it to don't overwrite the files?

It is normal that the the blue LED is on and the red LED is flashing when connecting to a computer. In your Windows software you have to choose the correct camera driver. You need a 'TIGA Device' driver which is installed automatically when you first connect the camera to the computer. You can not record on the SD-card when the camera is connected to an USB port of your computer. In this case you can only record using a specific Windows acquiring software, like the 'Debut Video Capture' software. If you like to record on the SD card, you need an external power supply, like a phone charger or a power bank to power the camera.
How to fix this issue
Even connect to normal power cable also same red indicator

This purple color happen because the camera is picking up infrared spectrum. The colors look normal inside the car because the glass doesn't allow IR and UV to pass through. The camera does capture IR because it have nightvision that is nothing but picking up IR emmited by its LEDs.

Thank you for making this video. I am looking for the best/small camera with motion detection that can record in low light. Someone broke into my car and stole everything I had inside my car, including my insurance information.
Not too bad I had bought a small body camera one time for my job as a security officer and I noticed a blue tint also not saying that this is the same issues but after a couple of months of using it I was really disappointed, but one day while on duty I bumped in to a security officer that worked at a city garage and noticed he had the same camera so I asked him about the blue tint he he stated that there’s a plastic protection on the glass that it’s not noticeable that he took off and the blue tint went away lol....
You're the man. In fact, there is a purple filter on the lens, but it will be very difficult to remove this filter as you need to remove the shell to access the lens The shell is glued. Nevertheless, I will try to disassemble the device even if I have to break the shell. I am also aware when removing the filter, the IR function will no longer work, but its not a problem for me. Anyway, thanks for this really useful information.
