3.3.5 DAYNIGHT
These settings control the operation of the camera when the illumination level changes. Choices are Color at all times; B/W at all times; or color when illumination is bright, switching to B/W in low light. PLEASE NOTE: In “color” operation, there is an IR “cut” (blocking) filter between the lens and the sensor; the EZ650 has very little IR sensitivity when the image is displayed in color. The EZ650 camera will have excellent IR sensitivity when displaying a low light B/W picture. To properly utilize the IR illuminators on the EZ650 in low light situations, it is essential to select either the AUTO or the B/W operating mode in this menu.
B/W | The picture is always displayed in B/W. | |
BURST | OFF/ON: | |
| ON: | Retains the color burst information; minor color noise may appear |
| OFF: | when ambient illumination is low. |
| With color burst signal off, picture will be pure B/W. |
