Day/Night Settings
Switch to B/W in night mode
Select this checkbox to enable the Network Camera to automatically switch to Black & White display
during the night mode.
Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode
Select this to turn on an external IR illuminator (connected via Digital Output lines) when the camera
detects low light condition and enters the night mode.
Turn on built-in IR illuminator in night mode
Select this to turn on the built-in IR illuminators when the camera detects low light condition and enters
the night mode.
Adaptive IR
When enabled, the camera automatically adjust the IR projection to adjacent objects in order to avoid
over-exposure in the night mode.
The Adaptive IR function is more beneficial when the spot of intrusions or an object of your interest is
close to the lens and the IR lights. For example, if an intruder has a chance of getting near the range
of 3 meters, Adaptive IR can effectively reduce the over-exposure. For a surveillance area at a greater
distance, e.g., 5 meters, the Adaptive IR function may not bring as significant benefits as in close range.
IR cut filter
With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let Infrared light
pass into the sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode
The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.
■ Day mode
In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block infrared light from
reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.
■ Night mode
In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor to accept
infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.
■ Synchronize with digital input
The Network Camera automatically removes the IR cut filter when DI triggers.
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified schedule.
Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in
24-hour clock time. By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00.
Light sensor sensitivity
Select Low, Medium, or High sensitivity for the light sensor.
