Table 3-3

Camera Settings Window Options (continued)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Option

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sensitivity

 

Designates how the iris opening in the IP camera lens adjusts when auto iris

 

 

 

 

mode is enabled. As sensitivity increases, the auto iris closes more to reduce

 

 

 

 

the light level and increase the depth of field in bright environments.

 

 

 

 

However, a high sensitivity may cause the image to oscillate between bright

 

 

 

 

and dim. In this situation, reduce the sensitivity to improve the image quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Balance Mode

Choose one the following white balance modes from the drop-down list:

 

 

 

 

• Manual—Choose this option if you want to set the white balance by

 

 

 

 

using the White Balance slider in the Camera Video/Control window as

 

 

 

 

described in Chapter 4, “Viewing Live Video.”

 

 

 

 

• Auto—Suitable for most conditions that do not have special lighting

 

 

 

 

• Indoor (incandescent)—Suitable for indoor conditions

 

 

 

 

• Fluorescent (white light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with

 

 

 

 

fluorescent white lighting

 

 

 

 

• Fluorescent (yellow light)—Suitable for indoor conditions with

 

 

 

 

fluorescent yellow lighting

 

 

 

 

• Outdoor—Suitable for outdoor conditions.

 

 

 

 

The default setting is Auto.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day Night Filter Area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filter Type

 

Choose the day/night mode for the IP camera:

 

 

 

 

• Day—IP camera always remains in day mode.

 

 

 

 

• Night—IP camera always remains in night mode.

 

 

 

 

• Auto—IP camera automatically switches between day and night mode

 

 

 

 

based on the lighting condition threshold that you specify.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day to Night Threshold

If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the

 

 

 

 

relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from day to night

 

 

 

 

mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from day to

 

 

 

 

night mode in brighter conditions. A higher value designated that the IP

 

 

 

 

camera switches modes in darker conditions.

 

 

 

 

The default value is 10.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Night to Day Threshold

If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the

 

 

 

 

relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from night to day

 

 

 

 

mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from night to

 

 

 

 

day mode in darker conditions. A higher value designated that the IP camera

 

 

 

 

switches modes in lighter conditions.

 

 

 

 

The default value is 15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable Night Vision

Check this check box if you want to configure the times that the camera

 

 

Schedule

 

switches to and from night mode.

 

 

 

 

Enabling this schedule disables the Filter Type option.

 

 

 

 

Note If you configure a schedule, make sure that the time on the IP camera

 

 

 

 

is set correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start Time

 

Enter the time, in 24 hour format, that the camera enables its night filter.
