Day/Night
The Day Night Auto mode setting automatically controls both the Transition Level and Transition Detect Time for the dynamic
changes of light intensity between day time and night time.
 Auto
1. Transition Level: Determines when the camera changes from day mode (color) to night mode (black-white). Select
the “Lighter” transition level setting if you want the camera to change modes at a high lux setting. Use the “Default”
setting for normal day/night operation. Use the “Darker” transition level to change modes at a low lux setting.

2. Transition Detect Time (sec): Controls the length of time the camera is exposed to a light level before it changes

This setting is useful for dark scenes where a bright light is momentarily introduced in the scene (for example,
when a car with its headlights turned on passes the camera scene).
