EQUIP Series ACUIX™ IP PTZ Dome Installation and Configuration Guide
You can configure the specific values at which the camera switches from day
mode (color, insensitive to IR) to night mode (black and white, sensitive to IR)
and from night mode to day mode. These are the activate and deactivate points.
The full list of values from highest light level to lowest light level is shown in
Table C-1 on page 103.
The deactivate point must always be at a higher light level (lower video gain and
lower shutter time) than the activate point. To ensure the highest quality picture,
the deactivate point should be set to 0 dB and 1/60 s, with the activate point set
far enough below it that the camera does not oscillate between day and night
modes. If the camera continually switches between day mode and night mode,
move the deactivate and activate points farther apart.

1. From the OSD main menu, press 5 to select Camera Options.
