If your camera is installed with an IR illuminator and the digital output signals are connected to it, you can

IR cut lter
With a removable IR-cut lter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the lter to let Infrared light
pass into the sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode (The Day/Night Exposure Prole will not be available if Auto mode is selected)
The Network Camera automatically removes the lter by judging the level of ambient light.
■ Day mode
In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut lter 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 lter 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 lter when DI triggers.
■ Schedule mode
The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specied schedule.
Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in
