How to reduce noise in low-light conditions
To reduce noise in low-light conditions, you can adjust one or more of the following settings:
• Make sure that the exposure mode is automatic.
Note
Increasing the max shutter value can result in motion blur.
• The shutter speed should be as slow as possible, which means you should set max shutter to the highest possible value.
• Reduce sharpness in the image.
• Try lowering the max gain value.

This enables delivering black-and-white images with the help of IR light.
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, set the Day-night shift priority to Day,
Night or None.
