2.6 LED indicator

LED indicator activates or deactivates the information status LED, i.e. red and green LEDs (not the IR

illumination LEDs). Because of opaque front cover in the IR models, I8 and I9, the LED indicators only can

be seen in the non-IR CaMate products, i.e. w5. Below are the definitions of LED indicators:

 Red LED constant ON means normal operation, OFF means system is not working.

 Red LED flashes every 1 second means IR LEDs are overheated, flashes every 3 seconds means

LED voltage is out of range.

 Green LED flashes means the device received and executing commands.

 If both red and green LEDs flash simultaneously, the device upgrading its firmware.

2.7 Ambient Light

Ambient Light reports the current ambient lighting level. The ambient light level is polled every 10

seconds. The light sensor detection control may have a max. of 10 seconds delay when the ambient light

level changes.

2.8 LED Light Level

LED Light Level controls the strength of LED lighting from 100% (default setting, max. power consumption)

to 20% when the LED is ON.

2.9 DO Mode

The DO mode defines the function of DO pin. The DO signal can be used to report three conditions:

Detected Light Level, LED state, or Diagnostic mode. The DO pin signal follows the DO active polarity

setting.

2.9.1 DO light sensor mode

In the default Light sensor mode, the DO pin outputs the light sensor detection result as the "bright"

state (ambient lighting higher than the Triggering level) or the "dark" state (ambient light lower than

the Triggering level). If the application requires CaMate to report Day/Night mode to other devices, e.g.,

the network camera, the DO mode should be configured to the Light sensor mode.

2.9.2 DO LED state mode

In the LED state mode, the DO pin outputs the LED ON/OFF state. If a CaMate is operating in the Direct

or Light sensor LED control mode, other devices can acknowledge the CaMate's LED ON/OFF status via

the DO connection.

2.9.3 DO Diagnostic mode

In the Diagnostic mode, the DO pin outputs the LED health status. Abnormal conditions may include:

LEDs overheated or LED voltage out of range. The Diagnostic mode can be used for maintenance

purpose.
