And changing that to something more suitable doesn't work? Have you tried auto? Have you tried day mode, or anything else? Or are you saying you've made changes to the settings and you are still getting a poor image?

No, I'm saying that the "custom" setting apparently was the reason it was monochrome. There are a lot of settings so I was hoping for some guidance. At times it seems to try to turn the IR on but then there is too much light and the image washes out and it cycles it on and off.
Edit-
I discovered that "Smart illumination>overexposure restrain" caused a cycling problem and that the manual setting prevented that issue. I don't understand how "Smart Illumination" is related to the "Exposure>Day/night mode."
This is just going thru my NVR. Looks like it's easy to set up a preset without messing with the cam gui.

I replied to a reguest for info on if there are presets. It does not have any ifo on the cam gui or anything else. I do egree most people that purchase this camera is for the optical zoom and trying to set it up to capture license plates. It's not good "IMHO" as an overview cam or alot of things. Probably why it's on sale for 35.00 on several sites.
The view is about mid range of the optical zoom. I could zoom much further in if needed. I'm happy with this cam but if you don't mind paying a bit more, you can get more. (this is not a complete set up) just 1st day of playing around. This is also not an ALPR cam. your millage may vary....
