Illuminator
Description
When the camera comes with an illuminator, you can configure the
illuminator solution.
1. Click Settings next to Illuminator to configure the illuminator.
2. Select an illuminator solution from the Fill Light drop-down list.
● IR Mode: Enable the IR illuminator, and the white light is
disabled. You can only capture black and white images after
enabling this function.
● White Light: Enable the white light, and the IR illuminator is
disabled. You can capture clear scene image after enabling this
function.
● Smart Illumination: This function is mainly used at night.
Smart illumination applies IR mode in most situations. When
an event occurs (such as perimeter, motion detection and
human detection), the camera automatically switches to white
light mode to link image capturing and video recording under
the full color mode. The white light turns off when the event
stops, and then the mode switches to IR mode according to
the ambient brightness.
The status of the illuminator mainly depends on time and
environment. If the smart illumination is triggered at night and
the event continues during the day, the illuminator configured
for the daytime will be turned off.
● By Time: Set the illumination solution according to the time
period and use different solutions at different time periods.
3. Configure the time plan.
a. Click Settings next to Time Plan.
b. Select an illumination solution, and then drag on the timeline
to select the time period of the illumination solution.
Different colors represent different illumination solutions on
the timeline, as shown in the following figure.
● Click the selected time period, and then set an accurate
start and end time.
● Click Copy, select weeks, and then click Apply.
Time plans for the current week can be quickly
copied to other weeks.
4. Click OK.
