How to benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As light diminishes, you can set the camera to automatically
shift to night mode. In night mode the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white images.
Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images.
