how to fix picture quality on night vision baby monitor

We have the Withings baby monitor and we LOVE it. It has an app for the iPhone (and I think Android phones) so I can check it wherever I am. You can also check it online through their website. It has alerts and you can adjust those to your specific preferences. It plays music and has a night-light.

The downside? The night pictures are horrible! As my aunt asked "what's with the paranormal activity?" We initially thought nothing of it and assumed that was just the quality of a night vision camera. Then one day we took our downstairs surveillance camera upstairs and put it in Miles' room to see what the quality was like there. We were amazed at the quality...in the old camera. WTF? How does this new camera make the old one better? It took my husband a few minutes of thinking before he realized that the downstairs camera has more infrared LED’s than the baby monitor. After some looking around on Amazon we found this (you will also need this). The difference is like night and day now.

Here is a screenshot with the light in the room turned on (it’s still black and white because there is not enough light for the camera to switch to color).

Here is the screenshot of the Withings camera by itself.

And here is the screenshot with the IR LED illuminator.

Amazing right?
