Mounting the camera

The camera can be mounted from the top or bottom. The bottom mounting is isolated from ground. With outdoor scenes, a DC-iris lens is recommended.

Caution

Do not point the camera/lens into direct sunlight.

Day/Night switching

The DinionXF Day/Night Camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR illuminated applications. If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color (the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to prevent unwanted switching to color mode.

There are four different methods of switching:

•via the alarm input,

•via Bilinx™ communication,

•as part of the programmable mode profile, or

•automatically, based on the observed light levels.
