Day/Night Functionary
64 Basler IP Camera
IR-Cut Filter Modes of Operation
The IR-cut filter mechanism in the camera has several modes of operation:
In Auto mode, the camera automatically senses the change from night to day or from day to
night. When a night-to day change is detected, the camera will automatically move the filter to
the closed position. And when a day-to-night change is detected, the camera will automatically
move the filter to the open position.
In Open mode, the IR-cut filter will be placed in the open position and keep it there.
In Closed mode, the IR-cut filter will be placed in the closed position and keep it there.
In Input Pin 0 Controlled mode, the state of input pin 0 will control whether the IR-cut filter is
open or closed. When the input is active, the filter will be open. And when the input is inactive,
the filter will be closed.
You can use the Auto tab in the Image Controls parameters group to set the IR Filter Mode (see
page 12).
The IR-Cut Filter Announce Mode
The IR-cut filter has a feature called the Announce Mode. The announce mode for the IR-cut filter
can be set two ways:
If the mode is set to Off, the announce feature is disabled.
If the mode is set to Output Pin 0, the camera will "announce" the current position of the IR-cut
filter by setting the state of output pin 0. When the IR-cut filter is in the open position, output pin
0 will be set to active. And when the IR-cut filter is in the closed position, output pin 0 will be set
to inactive.
You can use the Digital I/O tab in the Input/Output parameters group to set the IR Filter Announce
Mode (see page 40).
