Day-to-night switchover
Adjust the slider to set the video level at which the device in Automatic exposure mode
switches from color to monochrome operation (-15 to +15).
A low (negative) value means that the device switches to monochrome at a lower light level. A
high (positive) value means that the device switches to monochrome at a higher light level.
Night-to-day switchover
Adjust the slider to set the video level at which the device in Automatic exposure mode
switches from monochrome to color operation (-15 to +15).
A low (negative) value means that the device switches to color at a lower light level. A high
(positive) value means that the device switches to color at a higher light level.
(The actual switch-over point might change automatically to avoid instable switching.)
Note: To make sure that the stability when the IR illuminators are used, link the illuminator to
a camera input for reliable and synced Day/Night switching.

Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Auto - the device switches the IR cut-off filter on and off depending on the scene
illumination level.
Color - the device always produces a color signal regardless of light levels.
Monochrome - the IR cut-off filter is removed, giving full IR sensitivity.
Off - The device is in single exposure mode and the user does not have an increased
dynamic range through HDR X. This setting is not suggested as it offers no benefits over
HDR X - Motion optimized (larger dynamic range) or 50 / 60 fps sensor modes (high
frame rate).
HDR X - Motion optimized (default setting) - This mode enables high quality video-
capture of fast moving objects in scenes with a large dynamic range. The device takes two
different readouts from a single exposure to capture both details in the highlights and
shadows of the scene, not depending on multiple exposures. This results in an improved
dynamic range compared to non-HDR modes with maximum clarity on moving objects as
there is no risk of HDR blending artifacts.
HDR X - Optimized DR - This mode should be used for even greater dynamic range
requirements. It adds another fast exposure on top of the HDR X - Motion optimized
mode combining the benefits from HDR X - Motion optimized and traditional HDR.
HDR X - Extreme DR - Further increases performance to an absolute maximum by adding
another fast exposure on top of the HDR X - Motion optimized mode at an even greater
HDR ratio. This mode combines the benefits from HDR X - Motion optimized and
traditional HDR. Due to the maximum HDR ratio, there is a larger risk of HDR artifacts in
the scene and on moving objects.
Select Off to switch off backlight compensation.
Select On to capture details in high-contrast and extremely bright-dark conditions.
Select Intelligent Auto Exposure to capture object detail in scenes with people moving in
front of a bright background.
