5.3 Day/Night switching
The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The
mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR
illuminated applications by software configuration settings.
If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically
switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The
switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the
camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images
without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color
(the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level
permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to
prevent unwanted switching to color mode.
There are four different methods of controlling the IR filter:
– via an alarm input,
– via Bilinx communication,
– automatically, based on the observed light levels, or
– as part of the programmable mode profile.
5.4 Camera control communication (Bilinx)
This camera is equipped with a coaxial communications
transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VP-
CFGSFT, the camera setting can be changed from any point
along the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely
giving full control of the camera. With this method of
communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on
the camera.To avoid loss of communication on an installed
camera, the Communication On/Off selection is not available
while using remote control. This function can only be accessed
with the camera buttons. Bilinx communications can only be
disabled using the buttons on the camera.
Disabled camera buttons
When the Bilinx communications link is active, the buttons on
the camera are disabled.
