9.4 Day/night control (D/N CNTL)
In insufficient light conditions, the camera usually switches automatically from day operation
(colour) to operation (B/W). During the switchover, the IR filter on the front of the camera is
removed mechanically. The camera now works in the more light-intensive B/W mode and is also
sensitive to infrared light. The switchover can also be scheduled or event-controlled.
Select D/N CNTL and press ENTER, then use the RIGHT/LEFT keys to select from the following:
LUX/DELAY: In this mode, the camera switches to night operation following a specifiable time
(DELAY) and if a specifiable brightness value (LUX) is not reached, and switches back to day
operation when the LUX value is exceeded.
SCHEDULE: The PROFILINE VdS day/night camera has an integrated real-time clock, so that you
can specify a time at which the camera changes from day to night operation or vice versa. The
camera then changes from day to night operation (or vice versa) at the set time.
EXTERNAL (event-controlled): In this mode, the camera changes from day to night operation
when an external signal is received, such as a signal from an external twilight sensor or infrared
illumination. The digital input/output (GND I/O) is used as signal input in this mode only.
DAY MODE: In this mode, the camera remains permanently in day mode (colour). There is no
switchover to night mode.
NIGHT MODE: In this mode, the camera remains permanently in night mode (B/W). There is no
switchover to day mode.
Select the mode suitable for your application and then press ENTER.
