To manually correct defective pixels (refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 on page 3):
1.Cover the lens completely. Make sure no light can enter the lens.
NOTE: The mechanical iris lens aperture does not completely block the light.
2.Press and hold button SW3 for one second. The camera will find and correct defective pixels. NOTE: Any defective pixels that cannot be completely corrected may still appear.
3.Release button SW3.
4.Uncover the lens for normal camera operation.
DAY/NIGHT OPERATION
NOTE: This section only applies to DN modelcameras.
DN model cameras regularly check the brightness level of the field of view to determine when to switch between day (color) and night
Actual brightness threshold levels are affected by camera angle, amount of zoom, field of view, lens, and type of lighting. The switching process lasts from seven to 10 seconds.
Figure 3 and Table A show how the camera switches between color and

NOTE: These switching thresholds are approximate. Actual thresholds are affected by lens type and setting, field of view, scene, and other factors. Use the thresholds in Table A as a guide when installing the unit.
