6.4.5. DAY & NIGHT Menu
The camera sensor has DAY (color) and NIGHT(black and white) mode. Use this
menu to set up the mode, how it is switched and also IR levels.
•
Move the joystick left or right to select a mode and enter its sub-menu (if
applicable). Not all menus are displayed due to similarities in settings.
6.4.5.1. D&N EXT (External Sensor)
By default (
D&N EXT
), the color mode is set based on a light sensor on the front of
the camera. Recommended for most applications.
•
D→N DELAY:
Set delay for switching day (COLOR) to night (B/W) mode. Set from
0 to 30 seconds. Increase if night mode switches on too quickly.
•
N→D DELAY:
Set delay from Night to Day mode (opposite of above). Set from 0
to 30 seconds. Increase if day mode switches on too quickly.
6.4.5.2. D&N COLOR Mode
Lock the camera in COLOR (daylight) mode. IR will NOT activate in this mode, so
the ambient lighting level must be sufficient for viewing.
6.4.5.3. B/W Setting
Lock the camera in B/W (night time) mode. IR intensity may also be set.
•
BURST —
Turn ON and image is converted to a grey image containing the color
signal. OFF sends a true B/W image containing no color signal.
•
IR SMART —
Prevents over-exposure by reducing IR LED intensity when objects are
too close to the camera. Scroll left or right to turn ON or OFF.
•
IR LEVEL —
Scroll left or right to set the IR output level to HIGH or LOW.
6.4.5.4. D&N AUTO Setting
In this mode, the camera uses the light entering the sensor to determine daytime
(COLOR) or nighttime (BW) mode.
