We are going to use this to try to catch a thief. Does this camera have a flash at night that can be seen??

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

No. It has a few red lights that come on. Very quickly. They won't see it unless looking directly at it. The video option makes the light come on longer. I wouldn't get this one for your purpose. Get a blackout one. More expensive but will work better for thieves. Or put it up high pointed down.

It's an infrared flash. It cannot be seen by the naked eye. It is visible with night vision devices though (not something you're likely to be dealing with).

yes, it has a flash like DAYLIGHT ... lol. its kind of a joke with my brother because it was so bright. (back only..not front flash)

Yes, but not real clear. Only if someone walks close to the camera you will recognize. Note: night mode is gray scale, not color.

There is no flash. The LED Infrareds will glow red at night for a brief second when it takes a picture, but that is all.

It uses a monochromatic infrared flash, so the night pics are black and white.Most creatures (humans, deer, etc) cannot see infrared, so the flash is invisible to us and most other animals.

It does not have night vision, when room is dark you cant see anything..motion detection comes with your dvr's software not with the camera.

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

Yes, it does... It is NOT a flash, which is why I bought it for my wife. :-/

yes it does make a flash so not sure it would be great for that use. we use to see animals in back acreage. if you want great detail maybe the security cameras are better.

No flash. Doesn't disturb our deer while they feed. We only turn camera on at night. We noticed if left on contnuously batteries go quickly.

Nope, no flash. Pictures in poor light are blurry from movement, and nearly half of the pictures my daughter takes are black. If I had it to do over I would get her a cheap "real" camera. She still enjoys it, but mostly for the penguin puzzle game that's on it.

Yes, it has the strobe .but you have to go through the rest of the features to get to it. I just use the flash light not th strobe.

It does not have a flash. I have taken thousands of pictures and it has never taken spooked anything.

The camera does not have a flash. It is best used outdoors during daytime or in very well lit interior settings.
