Configuration
Day and Night Settings
Switch to B/W in Night Mode:
Select to automatically enable the camera to switch
to B/W night mode.
IR Cut Filter:
The IR-Cut Removable (ICR) filter mechanically switches between two
different sensor filters. It provides the best light conditions both during the day and
night. The following options are:
• Auto Mode:
The camera automatically switches between day and night
mode by judging the level of ambient light. This mode is accessible only when
the exposure mode is set to Auto.
• Day Mode:
In this mode the camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times,
which will block the infrared light from reaching the sensor so that the colors
are not distorted.
• Night Mode:
The camera switches off the IR cut filter to allow the infrared
light to pass through. This helps the camera to see more clearly in low light
conditions.
• Synchronize with Digital Input:
The camera automatically removes the IR
cut filter when DI triggers.
• Schedule Mode:
The camera switches between day and night mode based
on a specific schedule. Ensure to enter the starting and ending time for the
day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in 24-hour
clock time. By default, the starting time and ending time of day mode are set
to 06:00 and 18:00.
Light Sensor Sensitivity:
Select Low, Normal, or High sensitivity for the light
sensor.
