6.5.4 Night Vision Setup
The Y-cam uses infrared LEDs to provide high levels of light in dark environments. The intelligent photosensitive
components can automatically turn on the infrared LEDs in low light conditions or you can manually turn them on.
Click on Night Vision Setup under the title Camera to change the settings for your camera.
[Infrared LED Control] “Auto” switches on the IR LEDs automatically when there isn’t enough light to produce a good
quality image. “On” turns the IR LEDs on permanently and ignores the light level in the room (resulting in a Black &
White mode). When “Off” is selected the IR LEDs are kept in the off state even if the light level of the room is too dark
to produce a good quality image. This may be useful if the LEDs are reflecting off a nearby surface and obstructing your
view.
[Black and white mode] “Auto” switches the video from colour to monochrome when the IR LEDs are turned on. “On”
switches the video to monochrome irrelevant of the status of the IR LEDs. “Off” forces the Y-cam to stay in colour mode
even when the IR LEDs are on.
[Moonlight Mode] Turns Moonlight mode on or off or set it to automatic. The Moonlight feature superimposes frames
in order to brighten the image being viewed. This is also known as frame integration. In “Auto” the camera uses the
front Light Level Sensor to detect the amount of light available to the camera. Should the light level below, the camera
would automatically turn this feature on.
[IR cut filter control] IR is present naturally in day light, this can cause discolouration of images where the greens can
look purplish. The IR cut filter blocks these IR lights from coming back onto the lens of camera, and this gives a true day
image.
However, if the IR cut filter is on during night, the night vision will not work. It is recommended to leave the IR cut filter
control to Auto at all times, to achieve best results from the camera.
