Day Night Settings

The Day Night mode controls the position of the IR cut filter, which determines the color or black-white setting of the camera. The Day Night mode settings change depending on the Exposure settings. If the camera is set to Auto Exposure mode, the Day Night mode can be set to Auto or Manual and all of the respective settings are available. If the camera is set to Manual Exposure, the only available Day Night mode setting is Position, which sets the IR filter to either the Day (color) position or the Night (black-white) position.

Day Night Auto and Manual Modes

Day Night Auto Mode

The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls the IR cut filter depending on the Transition Level and Transition Detect Time settings.

Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white). Settings include Lighter, Default, and Darker. Set the transition level to Lighter if you want the camera to change modes at a high lux setting. Use Default for normal day/night operation, and use Darker to change modes at a low lux setting.

Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes to color or black-white mode. This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example, when a car with its headlights turned on passes the camera scene).

Day Night Manual Mode

The Day Night Manual mode sets the IR cut filter to a fixed position depending on the Position setting. Available settings include Day and Night.

Day: Sets the IR filter to the Day (color) position.

Night: Sets the IR filter to the Night (black-white) position.

Note Position is the only available Day Night setting if the camera exposure is set to Manual.

5011, 5010 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology, providing robust solutions for businesses worldwide. Among its many offerings, the Cisco 5010 and 5011 models stand out as powerful devices designed to address the needs of modern data centers and enterprises requiring reliable and high-performance networking solutions.

The Cisco 5010 is a fixed-configuration switch that combines advanced features suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. It supports a range of Ethernet and wireless technologies, allowing seamless integration into various network infrastructures. With a capacity for Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, the 5010 facilitates efficient data routing and switching, ensuring optimal performance for diverse applications.

On the other hand, the Cisco 5011 builds upon the 5010's capabilities, offering enhanced features and scalability. It is designed for organizations that demand higher performance and advanced networking capabilities. This model supports more VLANs and can handle increased traffic loads, making it suitable for larger enterprises or data centers.

One of the key features of both models is Cisco's advanced security protocols. They provide comprehensive protection against unauthorized access and network threats, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. The switches also support segmentation and access control lists (ACLs), allowing administrators to manage network traffic effectively.

Both the 5010 and 5011 models are equipped with Cisco's innovative IOS software, providing users with a familiar interface for configuration and management. This software allows for automation of routine tasks, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing potential errors.

In terms of performance, both switches are built to handle high-speed connectivity, supporting multiple gigabit interfaces. They also feature advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, which prioritize critical network traffic and maintain high performance during peak usage times. The support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows businesses to power devices like IP phones and access points directly through the switch, simplifying infrastructure requirements.

Scalability is another important characteristic of the Cisco 5010 and 5011. They can accommodate growth in network size and complexity without compromising performance, making them future-proof investments for enterprises.

In conclusion, the Cisco 5010 and 5011 switches are exemplary products that illustrate Cisco's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions. With their advanced features, robust security, scalability, and high performance, they cater to the needs of modern businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and operational efficiency.
