Optimize IR illumination
In most cases, the exposure of the image is automatically adjusted to obtain optimal image quality. If the camera is placed close to a
wall or a corner, it can sometimes result in saturation of parts of the image. When this happens, the LED’s closest to the wall or
corner are automatically dimmed to avoid saturating the image.
Depending on the installation environment and the conditions around the camera, for example external light sources in the scene,
you can sometimes improve the IR illumination if you manually adjust the intensity of the LED’s.
1. Go to
Settings > Image > Day and night
