The Day/Night function improves the camera’s sensitivity by automatically switching the video to the normal color
mode in bright conditions and to the black/white mode in dark situations.
You can fix the camera to the color or black/white video mode without using the Day/Night function.
AUTO: Automatically switches to color or black/white mode.
COLOR:
B/W: Fixes the video mode to black/white mode.
Use the / button to select [DAY/NIGHT], use the / button to choose “AUTO”, and press
the SET button.
The D/N SETTING-AUTO screen appears.
Use the / button to select [LEVEL] and use the / button to choose the luminance level at
which the camera is switched between the color and black/white mode.
Available settings:
Fixes the video mode to color mode.
Automatically switches between color and black/white modes when an external alarm is input.
You can use the system controller to change the Day/Night function mode. To do so, select [AUX
ON] and select one of the mode numbers on the number entry screen:
3 = AUTO mode, 2 = B/W mode, 1 = COLOR mode
You may hear switching noise or see distorted images when the camera mode is switched. This is
not a malfunction, however.
In AUTO mode, turning OFF the camera with black/white image displayed and then turning it back on
again switches to color image. The retrieved focused position may differ between the color and
black/white images.
When using infrared lighting in the black/white mode, the camera may switch to the color mode due
to strong reflection from the target objects.
If this occurs, take the following measures:
Set the focus compensation mode to adjust the focus more accurately.
Adjust the infrared lighting so as not to cause switching to the color mode.

mode).
MID: Sets the luminance level to halfway between “LOW” and “HIGH”.
HIGH: Sets a high luminance level (to increase the time during which the camera operates in the
