IR CUT FILTER (23X DAY/NIGHT CAMERA)

ExSite EHXM has two modes of operation: color, and black-white. You can increase sensitivity in
low light conditions by switching to black-white mode (removing the IR cut filter). Color mode is
preferred in normal lighting conditions.
The following are the settings for the IR cut filter:
OFF Manual operation is controlled by preset 88 (filter IN) and 89 (filter OUT).
AUTO (default) Automatic operation is controlled by the Auto IR Level setting.

Auto IR Level

The auto IR level is the light level at which the infrared filter switches IN or OUT.
Following are the available settings for the Auto IR Level:
DUSK (default) Approximately 6 lux (black-white)
Approximately 13 lux (color)
DARK Approximately 0.1 lux (black-white)
Approximately 2 lux (color)

NOTES:

• If backlight compensation is ON and the IR cut filter switches OUT in normal lighting
conditions, adjust the Auto IR Level to a darker setting. Refer to the

Backlight Compensation
(BLC)

section.
