Function Description
Auto
Select this option for day/night mode to be automatically activated. The
internal circuit will automatically decide the threshold to remove the IR
cut filter according to the value of light condition calculated by internal
light algorithms. The options include Low, Mid, and Hi.
Low indicates a higher sensitivity and can improve reliability of lens so
that it is fast to switch to Day mode and relatively difficult to change into
Night mode; Hi indicates that it is fast to switch to Night mode and
difficult to change into Day mode.
This is the default setting.
Manual
Select manually whether day or night mode is activated.
Select On to deactivate the IR cut filter and put the camera in B/W (Night)

(Day) mode.
Exit
