Infrared System
The infrared system runs normally under automatic control. The PTZ630 has an
automatic intelligent IR light facility that is coupled to the focus operation so that
wide angle shots are given a wide diffused IR beam whilst longer distance shots re
given a more powerful narrower IR beam.
The Infrared lamps illuminate in a low light condition and switch off when light
levels improve. A menu default option is set to
AUTO
for
normal operation
. The
user may set the option to
ON to force the Infrareds to illuminate
but if it is
required to return to normal mode the option must be set to
AUTO
