3. Select Manual for the Day Night mode. The manual mode sets the IR cut filter to a fixed position depending on the position setting.

4. If required, click the Restore Settings to Defaults button to restore the default settings.
CONFIGURING AUTO FOCUS SETTINGS
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.
2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Auto mode.
4. Set the Temperature Change Refocus setting. The camera is programmed to run an automatic focus sequence when the internal
temperature sensor of the camera detects an environmental temperature change of 41°F (5°C). This focus sequence adjusts the center
focal point of the scene to maintain optimal focus. The default setting is On; select Off to turn off this setting.
5. Day/night cameras only: Set the Day/Night Switch Refocus setting. The default setting for the Day/Night Switch Refocus is Off. Select On
if the camera’s focal length is greater than ~25 mm or the night scene uses mostly IR lighting. The best method to determine if the day/night
refocus should be enabled is to test the camera with the daytime light conditions, and then test it again with the nighttime light conditions.
When the setting is On, the imager automatically refocuses the lens when the camera changes from night mode (black-white) to day mode
(color) or the reverse. For example, if the camera changes from day mode to night mode, the imager automatically adjusts the back focus for
the change in light.
6. If required, use one of the following buttons to adjust the focus:
Full Range Auto-Focus: The camera starts a full-range search to find the optimal focal point for the scene.
Restore Setings to Defaults: The camera resets the auto focus to the factory default setting.
CONFIGURING MANUAL FOCUS SETTINGS
NOTE: It is recommended to set the focus to Manual when using analytics. If the focus is set to Auto, significant background changes will occur
when the camera automatically adjusts to different points within a scene resulting in frequently changing image sharpness. This may cause
problems with scene recognition, which will suspend analytics operation or cause false alarms.
1. Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.
2. Select Focus from the drop-down menu.
3. Select the Manual mode.
4. Set one of the following settings:
Day Manual Focus Position: (Available only with day/night cameras.) This is the position of the focus mechanism when the IR cut filter
is applied. The day mode focus position range is 0 to 100.
Night Manual Focus Position: (Available only with day/night cameras.) This is the position of the focus mechanism when the IR cut filter
is removed. The night mode focus position range is 0 to 100.
5. If required, click the Restore Settings to Defaults button to reset the focus to the factory default setting.
