Configuration and Operation
61
IR Function
The IR Function setting activates the IR Cut (IRC) filter for day/night operation. The day/night IRC
switching mechanism operates according to the ambient light level.
Figure 61: IR Function Screen
From the
Day/Night Function
drop-down list, select one of the four settings:
Auto
– The camera converts from Day mode (color) to Night mode (monochrome)
automatically at nighttime or in low light conditions. When there is sufficient light,
the camera switches automatically from Night mode to Day mode. This is the default setting.
Night
– Activates IR mode by putting the camera into monochrome (Night) mode.
Day
– Deactivates IR mode by putting the camera into color (Day) mode.
Smart
– Default mode. Smart mode enhances monochrome/Night mode stability when IR
illumination is dominant and keeps the camera from switching between Day and Night
modes. In this mode, the IR Cut filter is on (i.e. monochrome/Night mode) when an external
IR LED projector also is activated. This prevents the camera from returning to color/Day
mode.
