4.5 Lamps
Options relating to the built-in lamps are set in this sub-menu.
4.5.1 Mode
This option determines when the lamps are turned on:
Light sensing (default) -
the lamps turn on automatically when it gets dark
Timed
-
the lamps turn on according a time of day schedule
Manual
-
the lamps turn on and off under manual control
4.5.2 ON level
Set this number to specify the light level at which the IR lamps turn on. The lower the
number the darker the light has to get before the lamps come on. The default setting is 75.
The current light reading is displayed which can be useful if you want to note the light level
at dusk when you want the IR lamps to come on.
4.5.3 Off level hysteretic
The IR lamps are turned off when the light level rises to the ON level plus this hysteresis
value. The default is 125.
4.5.4 Auto lamp delay
Set the time in seconds that you want the dome to wait before switching on or off due to a
change in light level. This delay stops the dome responding to short term effects like car
headlights that would otherwise cause the IR lamps to switch.
4.5.5 Lam
schedule
If the Lamp Mode is timed, use this option to specify the hours during each day that you
want the lamps to be on. A solid block indicates that the lamps will be ON for that hour
period. A dash indicates that they will be OFF. There are a total of 24 positions, one for
each hour of the day. Go LEFT to exit.
4.5.6 Lamp
Power
The power of the lamps may be set here. For maximum range set to 100%. For maximum
life or if in confined area, reduce slightly.
