3.8. Night Mode Control
The IP Cam can function in both daylight and the dark of night. The infrared LEDs
on the IP CAM can provide IR illumination for objects up to 10 meters distant. This
night mode control page is used to control when the IR LEDs will be on. There are
three ways to control the night mode (IR LEDs):
1. Automatic day and night mode switch: the IP cam will automatically turn on the
IR LEDs when the lighting conditions are too low for natural light imaging. The
light sensor on the IP cam allows it to detect the light levels.
2. Scheduled time of night mode: the IP Cam can also be scheduled to turn on
the IR LEDs during a specific time range each day.
3. Manual night mode control: the IP Cam can be manually forced into night
mode (IR LEDs on) or day mode (IR LEDs off).
In order to get better video color display during both daylight and darkness, there
is an ICR (IR Cutter Remover) inside the IP Cam. This ICR automatically to filters out
any IR (Infrared) light during the daylight conditions and allows the IR light to pass
through during the hours of darkness. This ensures that the video color quality is
excellent, especially when compared to other IP cameras.
