options:
• AUTO: The camera switches between day and night mode automatically with
changing light conditions (recommended).
• DAY: The camera remains in full color. This setting is not recommended unless the
camera is in an area with constant lighting.
• NIGHT: The camera remains in black & white. This setting is not recommended un-
less the camera is in a constantly dark environment.
4. Under TYPE, click the left / right arrow keys to select one of the following options:
• ELECTRON: Day / night switch-over is determined by camera software. This is rec-
ommended if the camera switches its viewing mode at around the same time every
day (for example, sunset or sunrise in an outdoor location).
• MECHANISM: Day / night switch-over is determined by a light filter. This is recom-
mended if the camera is in a location with fluctuating light conditions (for example,
indoors with lights turning on and off throughout the day).
5. Under THRESHOLD, click the left / right arrow keys to set the conditions for day / night
switch-over. Select a number between 1 (switch-over in brighter conditions) and 8
(switch-over in darker conditions).
