and [Auto].
Note
If you select [Enabled], the [Night Mode] status will be back to [Disabled] after the configured recording

A higher resolution results in larger disk usage. Make sure you have enough disk space.
If you set [Night Mode] to [Auto], please make sure that [Exposure] mode is set to [Auto] on the [Camera
Control] Panel.
The Auto setting for Night Mode can only be set with the VB-C500VD, VB-C500D, VB-C60, and VB-C300.
The [Night Mode], [Day Mode], and [Not specified] options for the Night Mode function can only be set

If you specify [Auto], you cannot control the [Night Mode] using the [Camera Control] Panel.

Tip
In the [Night Mode], set to [Enable]. After the schedule expires, the [Night Mode] will be disabled.
In the [Auto] mode, the mode automatically switches according to the brightness.
2. Select a [Resolution] for recording from the drop-down menu. You can select from [JPEG Small], [JPEG
