Day/Night Menu - Wirepath Surveillance WPS-765-DOM-AH Installation Manual

6.4.2.6.

DAY/NIGHT Menu

The camera sensor has DAY (color) and NIGHT (black and white) mode. Use this
menu to set the mode and how it is switched.
By default (AUTO), the color mode is set based on a light sensor on the front of
the camera, which is recommended for most applications.
Menu Structure and Settings
• DAY— Lock the camera in COLOR (daylight) mode. IR will NOT activate in this
mode, so the ambient lighting level must be sufficient for viewing.
• NIGHT — Lock the camera in B/W (nighttime) mode. Enter the sub-menu to
change advanced settings:
• BURST — Turn ON to provide color video during night-time scenes. It is
recommended in most cases to leave the setting OFF since the amount of
grain and noise in the picture can be too high to see details.
• AUTO — This mode utilizes a sensor on the camera to determine the level of
light hitting the sensor.
• BURST — When On, video signal maintains the color burst signal when
switching to B/W mode. This boosts video signal during times of low light,
though it is recommended in most cases to leave off in order to improve
signal syncing noise problems.
• CNTL SGNL — Select the source for controlling the light mode:
• EXT1 — Use the light sensor to determine the correct light setting.
• EXT2 — Not applicable to this model.
• INT — Use the camera video sensor to determine the correct light setting,
• DELAY CNT — Set the delay time for Day/Night (IR on/off) in seconds.
• DAY→NIGHT— Set delay for switching day (COLOR) to night (B/W) mode. Set
from 0 to 30 seconds. Increase if night mode switches on too quickly.
• NIGHT→DAY— Set delay from Night to Day mode (opposite of above). Set
from 0 to 30 seconds. Increase if day mode switches on too quickly.
