Day/Night Settings
Switch to B/W in night mode
Select this to enable the Network Camera to automatically switch to B/W during night mode.
IR cut lter
With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let IR light
enter the sensor during low light conditions.
■ Auto mode
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 a digital input from an externally-
implemented sensor is triggered.
■ 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
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, Normal, or High sensitivity for the light sensor.
Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode
If you have external IR lights installed along-side with the camera, you can can connect a Digital Output
line to the IR illuminator to turn it on in the night mode.
Turn on built-in IR illuminator in night mode
When the camera’s light sensor detects low light condition and turns into night mode, the built-in IR lights
are also turned on.
