CONNECTING DAY/NIGHT FILTER CONTROL
In some installations, high infrared (IR) illumination or other light sources may interfere with the camera’s automatic day/night mode operation. Use an external day/night filter switch, such as a photosensor, to keep the camera from constantly switching filters.
The control signal input responds as shown in Table C.

Open or High | 3.0 V to 3.3 V | AUTO |

NOTES:
•Do not exceed the values listed in Table C.
•The C10DN Series camera responds only to the input signal from the switch. It does not provide enough power to drive an external device.
To connect an external day/night filter switch to the camera, refer to Figure 6, and then complete the following steps:
1.Turn off power to the camera.
2.If necessary, use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the connector cover from the rear panel (refer to Figure 6).
3.If necessary, plug the external control connector assembly (supplied) into the camera. Then use a small Phillips screwdriver to secure the assembly cover to the rear panel.
