How to benet from IR light in low-light conditions using night mode

Your camera uses visible light to deliver color images during the day. As light diminishes, you can set the camera to automatically

shift to night mode. In night mode the camera uses both visible light and near-infrared light to deliver black-and-white images.

Since the camera uses more of the available light it can deliver brighter, more detailed, images.

1. Go to Settings > Image > Day and night, and make sure that the IR cut lter is set to Auto.

How to handle scenes with strong backlight

To make both dark and bright areas of the image visible, turn on WDR.

1. Go to Settings > Image.

2. Turn on WDR under Wide dynamic range.
