Day Night Mode
IR/DayNight Mode utilizes a series of specific camera functions to dramatically enhance low light
performance.
When needed, the True TDN mechanism removes an IR Cut Filter (IRCF) from in front of the images
allowing the camera to see in black and white (BW) and utilize additional near-infrared energy found in
many lighting sources like halogen, moonlight, etc.
This, along with slowing down another function, the shutter speed, significantly improves low light
performance rendering clear images where none could be viewed previously.
IR Illuminator
When the camera is in B/W mode it can utilize or “see” near-IR illumination; something the human
eye cannot do. This can be extremely powerful when the dome is paired with 850~950nm IR
illuminators. With this combination a scene can be well lit with IR light that the dome can see but
people cannot. This is great for areas where externally lighting is not allowed or there is a need for
covert security.
Procedure 89 Enable / Disable IR Illuminator
The Indoor Dome or Box camera does not support this feature. Refer to product codes for feature
support.

OR
Clear the Enable IR Illuminator check box to disable IR Illuminator. The default setting
