Thanks for your comment. That's what I thought.

I have a dashcam, and I've seen night videos from it.

In fact, the picture from my dashcam seems much better than this low quality mess, but still night videos from it come out much less visible than reality.

I've tried to rewatch some parts of videos later, and I find I was able to see much more detail on the sidewalk and on the periphery than was captured by the dashcam. Everything gets blown out in the night videos by the headlights.
