important to note that a longer exposure time will introduce visual artifacts to images of moving
objects: Movement may not be captured as clearly, and colors might appear washed out.
Day/Night Settings
Day/Night Settings are only available on the S2610e and S2610e-AS.
The Day/Night function switches the camera between day and night modes according to the
brightness level in a scene. When scene illumination is reduced, the IR-Cut filter used to produce color
images is removed so that the camera can make use of IR light and capture images even in very low
light. In this case, the camera will often switch to black and white (monochrome) mode to avoid
distortions introduced by IR light. The Nextiva S2600e offers automatic detection from day to night
mode and automatic switching to black and white; however, it is possible to capture images in color
even in night mode.
These are the Day/Night Control modes:
• Auto: The camera switches automatically between both modes. Make sure there is enough
light for good-quality video at night, but that the light is low enough so the camera makes the
switch.
• Forced Night Mode: The camera remains in night mode all the time.
• Forced Day Mode: The camera remains in day mode all the time.
The Day/Night Gain Boost will increase the video gain by 6 dB when entering night mode to increase
contrast. It will boost existing video signals, but also amplify the internal noise, so use carefully.
