Tips:
If there is an object in close proximity, the IR lights reflected back from it can mislead the Smart IR’s calculation of light level. To solve this issue, you can place an “Exposure Exclude” window on an unavoidable object in the Exposure setting window. See page 82 for how to do it.
You can also configure the “Exposure Exclude” window in a night mode “Profile” setting so that your day time setting is not affected.

■ Night mode
In night mode, the Network Camera switches off the IR cut filter at all times for the sensor to accept infrared light, thus helping to improve low light sensitivity.
■ Synchronize with digital input (1~3)
The Network Camera automatically removes the IR cut filter when a Digital Input is triggerred.
