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.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.

sun during daytime, select Flicker-reduced.
Select the same frequency as the power line frequency.
• To lock the current exposure settings, select Hold current.
Optimize IR illumination
Depending on the installation environment and the conditions around the camera, for example external light sources in the scene,
you can sometimes improve the IR illumination if you manually adjust the intensity of the LED's.
1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and turn on Allow illumination.
2. Turn on Live view control.
3. Minimize Settings.
4. In the live view control bar, click the Illumination button, turn on IR light and select Manual.
5. Adjust the intensity.
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.
2. To determine at what light level you want the camera to shift to night mode, move the Threshold slider toward Bright
or Dark.
3. Enable Allow IR illumination and Synchronize IR illumination to use the camera's IR light when night mode is activated.
Note
If you set the shift to night mode to occur when it's brighter, the image remains sharper as there will be less low-light
noise. If you set the shift to occur when it's darker, the image colors are maintained for longer, but there will be more
image blur due to low-light noise.
Reduce noise in low-light conditions
To reduce noise in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
