Turn on external IR illuminator in night mode

The camera’s digital output signal can be connected to external IR lights to turn it on when the camera detects low light conditions and enters the night mode.

IR cut filter

With a removable IR-cut filter, this Network Camera can automatically remove the filter to let IR light enter the light sensor during low light conditions.

■ Auto mode

The Network Camera automatically removes the filter by judging the level of ambient light.

■ Day mode

In day mode, the Network Camera switches on the IR cut filter at all times to block infrared light from reaching the sensor so that the colors will not be distorted.

■ 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.

■ Schedule mode

The Network Camera switches between day mode and night mode based on a specified schedule. Enter the start and end time for day mode. Note that the time format is [hh:mm] and is expressed in 24-hour clock time. By default, the start and end time of day mode are set to 07:00 and 18:00.

IMPORTANT:

1.Because the exposure settings are also available in the Profile setting, incorrect configurations such as a very high exposure level will let the camera consider it is operating in the Day mode even when the ambient light is actually low. The camera will falsely remove the IR cut filter, and thus results in distorted image colors.

Therefore, when the IR cut filter is in the Auto mode, the Profile setting is not available.

2.When set to the Night mode, the image display automatically changes to Black and White.

3.There is no Preview button in the Exposure window. Configuration changes are directly reflected in the live view window.
