IR cut filter -
Set the filter to
Off
to allow the camera to “see” infrared light; it increases the light sensitivity, for example at
night. The image is shown in black & white when the IR cut filter is off. Set to
Auto
to automatically switch between
On
and
Off
according to the lighting conditions.
Max gain -
Measured in decibels (dB). A high level of amplification may provide a better image in very low light situations. A
high gain will also increase the amount of image noise.
