The IR cut filter is stuck...bang it tap it..switch from back and fourth between day/night mode and hope for the best.
Thanks fenderman for the help. I tried switching from day / night via the Web interface and also tapped / smack the cam physically to no avail. I contacted the seller to report the issue. Hopefully they will repair / replace.

it happened with my Dahua dome HDBW4421E-AS
First time, I was able to free it up by switching back & forth from color & b/w
Finally I heard the click of the ir cut filter, and problem went away.
For a few months.
I was unable to fix it w/ hits and color/b&w mode change.
Took it apart, cleared up the mechanism, put a very small bit of silicone lube on the filter's rails, and the problem hasn't re-appeared oin 8 months

I've never seen that issue with a Hik camera but have seen it many times with Digital Watchdog cameras. Fenderman is right, IR cut filter and his recommendations are what we usually do to correct the issue.
