  Quote  Do you know if these cameras are IR sensitive, Pete?


I think they may have an IR filter but if so it is a crap one (tested with a TV remote). I couldn't get good pictures looking outside but, of course, the weather here is very hot, bright and hazy so not a good test.

  Quote  On your picture, it looks like the red colour of the camera PCB is being displayed as pink.


Agreed, there are a gazillion registers you can change on these things to tune the colour but this could also be affected by the IR issue. I'm waiting on some IR filters  to see if that improves things.
