Default PIR lights and CCTV?

Kenny wrote:
I have cameras front and back of house which switch to IR at night.
Will be
getting PIR outside lights soon and curious as to whether if the light
switches on will the camera work as a daytime one, ie: with colour or will
it switch to IR with no colour?

IR camera uses IR filter to see in the night. Most lens do not have
enough sensitivity to see color in the night. I have commercial grade
cameras but they do not see color in the dark. Check the specs. for
your cameras.
