That's not what I meant.
It's a day/night camera, correct? If so, even it it's not IR-equipped, it still has an IR-cut filter that snaps into place at higher lux levels, which filters out infrared and allows the camera to render colors correctly. At night, that filter is moved out of the way to allow the camera to use infrared light.
If your IR-cut filter doesn't snap back into place in the morning, it'll make your colors look all wonky.
I've never used the camera you're referring to, so it's just a guess. The link below shows Axis's explanation of the concept.
