Benefit from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode
Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As the available light diminishes, you can set the camera to
automatically shift to night mode, in which the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white
images. Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and make sure that the IR cut filter is set to Auto.
Select exposure mode
There are different exposure mode options in the camera that adjusts aperture, shutter speed, and gain to improve image quality for
specific surveillance scenes. Go to Settings > Image > Exposure and select between the following exposure modes:
•
For most use cases, select Automatic exposure.
•
For environments with certain artificial lighting, for example fluorescent lighting, select Flicker-free.
