Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions by using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As the available light diminishes, you can set the camera to
automatically shift to night mode, in which the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white
images. Since the camera uses more of the available light, it can deliver brighter, more detailed images.
1. Go to
Video > Image > Day-night mode
, and make sure that the
IR-cut filter
is set to
Auto
.
2. To set the light level at which the camera will shift to night mode, move the
Threshold
slider toward
Bright
or
Dark
.
3. To use the camera’s IR light when night mode is activated, turn on
Allow IR illumination
and
Synchronize IR illumination
.
Note
If you set the shift to night mode to occur when it’s brighter, the image remains sharper as there will be less low-light
noise. If you set the shift to occur when it’s darker, the image colors are maintained for longer, but there will be more
image blur due to low-light noise.
Reduce motion blur in low-light conditions
To reduce motion blur in low-light conditions, adjust one or more of the following settings in
Video > Image > Exposure
:
•
Move the
Blur-noise trade-off
slider toward
Low motion blur
.
Note
When you increase the gain, image noise also increases.
•
Set
Max shutter
to a shorter time, and
Max gain
to a higher value.
If you still have problems with motion blur:
•
Increase the light level in the scene.
•
Mount the camera so that objects move toward it or away from it rather than sideways.
Handle scenes with strong backlight
Dynamic range is the difference in light levels in an image. In some cases the difference between the darkest and the brightest
areas can be significant. The result is often an image where either the dark or the bright areas are visible. Wide dynamic range
(WDR) makes both dark and bright areas of the image visible.
Image without WDR.
