Set Day/Night mode to [Manual] or [Auto].

If [Manual] is selected, it is possible to switch

manually between [Day Mode] and [Night Mode]

using Admin Viewer Night Mode function (p. 7-17).

If you have selected [Auto], set [Switching Brightness]

and [Response (sec.)] according to the environment

in which the camera is installed as well as the desired

switching conditions.

Set the brightness at which Day Mode and Night

Mode will be switched when [Auto] is selected in

[Mode]. Select [Darker], [Slightly Darker], [Standard],

[Slightly Brighter] or [Brighter]. Select [Darker] if you

want to capture video in color as much as possible.

Select [Brighter] to reduce noise. Note that this mode

switches to black & white sooner.

Set the time in seconds needed for judgment on

switching between Day Mode and Night Mode when

[Auto] is selected in [Mode]. Select [60], [30], [20],

[10] or [5].

The mode will switch between Day Mode and Night

Mode if brightness remains above or below the level

set in (2) for the number of seconds specified.

Select [30] or [60] if brightness changes frequently,

such as when a light source passes in front of the

camera. Select [5] or [10] if change in brightness is

minimal.

Select [Turn Off] or [Turn On] for the LED operation

status on the camera. Set to [Turn Off] if you do not

want to turn on the LED.

Set to [Turn Off] if the optional indoor dome housing

will be used, if reflected LED light enters the capture

area or otherwise interferes with image capture, or if

you do not want to show that the camera is operating.

factory default setting is [Disable] (ceiling mounted).

Select [Enable] when installing in upright positions.
