Forces camera to B&W (Night) mode only, increasing low-light performance. Useful for scenes that will
consistently be poorly lit.
Time Mode

Synchronize
with DI Input
Selects Color and B&W modes based on the state of a contact output from an external device (such
as a security lighting sensor) connected to the camera’s DI input. When the connection is Open the
camera switches to Color (Day) mode; when the connection is Closed, camera switches to B&W (Night)
mode.

Light Sensor Mode (Default Mode)
The default day-night settings are usually ideal. The camera has been calibrated to run in color mode as long as enough ambient
light is available for the sensor to use. Once the scene begins to darken, the camera will adjust to black and white night mode, and
the IR LEDs will turn on as needed. Change the Lux variables to optimize the switch between modes for the scene.

mode. Selected level must be at least 4 units higher than Day to Night Lux setting.
•
