Information about night vision mode

The cameras feature color night vision mode, which allows camera images to be viewable even
when the surrounding area is dark.
Note:
R When [Color] is selected for the night vision mode, the white LEDs are lit enabling images to
be displayed in color.
R When [Monochrome] is selected for the night vision mode, the array of infrared LEDs that
surround the camera's lens light up in a faint red color that can be seen in the dark.
The visibility range for [Monochrome] in dark conditions is longer than for [Color].
R If the camera is installed in front of a window and points directly at the window, images may be
poor when night vision mode is active.
