Day/Night Settings

Switch to B/W in night mode

Select this to enable the Network Camera to automatically switch to Black/White during night mode.

Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode

Select this to turn on an external IR illuminator (connected via Digital Output lines) when the camera detects low light condition and enters the night mode.

Turn on built-in IR illuminator in night mode

Select this to turn on the built-in IR illuminators (effective range up to 20 meters) when the camera detects low light condition and enters the night mode.

Smart IR

When enabled, the camera automatically adjust the IR projection to adjacent objects in order to avoid over-exposure in the night mode.

The Smart IR function is more beneficial when the spot of intrusions or an object of your interest is close to the lens and the IR lights. For example, if an intruder has a chance of getting near the range of 3 meters, Smart IR can effectively reduce the over-exposure. For a surveillance area at a greater distance, e.g., 5 meters, the Smart IR function may not bring as significant benefits as in close range.
