Day/Night: These settings activate an IR cut filter that is in front of the sensor to
remove the IR during daytime operation for correct colorimetry.
Auto - The IR cut filter is automatically enabled - in during daytime and
out at night for maximum sensitivity.
On - The IR filter is always out of light path.
Off - The IR filter is always in the light path
Night Mode:
Color - The video picture is always in color.
BW - The video picture goes to black and white during low light for
maximum sensitivity.
BW with burst - The video picture goes to black and white during low
light for maximum sensitivity. A color burst is present for better stability on
a color monitor or recorder.
Gain Boost: These options let you specify additional gain when the camera is
night mode.
None: Will not provide any gain boost. Use this selection for normal video
output.
6db: When in night mode provides added gain. This will give your video
picture extra sensitivity, but can also bring up unwanted noise in your
video picture.
The Day/Night Threshold Setup settings are for initiating when the change over
from day to night and back again occurs.
Out - Determines when the light level is low enough to move the camera
out of night mode.
In - Determines when the light level is high enough to move the camera
into night mode.
Night time Parameters: These settings allow you to adjust the brightness and
grayscale quality of your video picture, and are active only when the camera is in
night mode.
Gamma - Use the slider to adjust the grayscale settings of a video
picture. For the most accurate picture, it’s best to adjust the gamma
setting at night.
Black Level - Under extreme low light it can be beneficial to raise the
black level of a picture. Use the slider to increase or decrease the
brightness of a picture during night operation.
Use the Reset Video button in the lower right-hand corner of the page to return all
settings to their default value.
Note: If you use the Reset Video button it will automatically change the Preset
field on the Basic Video Settings tab to Universal. If your iCVRs are
located outdoors, go back to the Basic Video Settings tab and choose
Outdoor from the Preset drop-down menu.
