Auto Mode
The automatic mode is different from the “IR” mode, and the au-
tomatic mode starts the environment detection sensor. It can detect
environmental luminance in real time and work with reference to
illumination control system. Under extremely low or extremely dark
environment, The system will automatically turn on infrared aux-
iliary lighting, and when the environmental illumination can meet
normal observation, The system automatically turns off “IR”, and
when the ambient illumination reaches 40–100 Lux, The whole sys-
tem is automatically shut down to protect the photosensitive core
components from damage by strong light.
