SW1-8: Day/Night Operation (DW models only)
NOTE: On CW models,
DW model cameras regularly check the brightness level of the field of view to determine when to switch between day (color) and night
Set
Set
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 7 to 10 seconds.
Figure 13 and Table D show how the camera switches between color and black-white operation for each setting.
