Day/Night

The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls the IR cut filter depending on the Transition Level and Transition

Detect Time settings.

 Auto

1. Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white).

Select the “Lighter” transition level setting if you want the camera to change modes at a high lux setting. Use the

“Default” setting for normal day/night operation. Use the “Darker” transition level to change modes at a low lux

setting.

2. Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes

to color or black-white mode.

This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example,

when a car with its headlights turned on passes the camera scene).
