level rather than activation of the IR LED mode. The IR Mode drop-down menu
enables you to select from Auto/On/Off/Smart modes. The default mode is
Smart. Following is an explanation of the four settings:
o Auto Mode-the camera converts from Day mode (color) to Night
mode (monochrome) automatically at nighttime or in low light
conditions. When there is sufficient light, the camera converts
automatically from Night mode to Day mode.
o On-activates IR mode (puts camera into monochrome/Night mode).
o Off-deactivates IR mode (puts camera into color/Day mode).
o Smart-Smart Mode enhances monochrome/Night mode stability when IR
illumination is dominant and keeps the camera from switching between Day
and Night modes. In this mode, the IR Cut filter is on (i.e.
monochrome/Night mode) when the IR LED illuminator also is activated.
This prevents the camera from returning to color/Day mode.

 IR LED
This setting is used in low-light conditions or at night. IR LED lights are turned on
or off, depending on the light sensor. The default mode is “Auto”. Two settings
are available:
o “Auto”-the light sensor operates automatically.
o “Off”-the IR light is always off.

NOTE: The IR LED function is available only on CM-3211-10-I and CM-3211-11-I.
6.5.7 WDR Function
The Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) function is for resolving high contrast or changing light
issues in order to enhance the video display. The WDR is adjustable from “Low”, “Mid” to
“Hi”. Higher level of WDR represents wider dynamic range, so that the camera can capture a
greater scale of brightness. Press <√> to confirm the new setting.
