Hi,
I have a couple of Sunell anti-vandal dome cameras mounted at a height of ~ 5m overlooking an inner yard. Outside the fence, lets say maybe 8-10 meters from the cameras are the city's street lights. They are sodium-vapor lamps emitting a reddish/yellow light. The building is made out of bricks, amplifying the red hue.
This image pretty much describes the situation:
During daytime, each camera works great, but at nigh, when the lights turn on each image has a different tint. Its definitely something wrong with auto-exposure and/or WB.
For WB i can choose form:
AWB-PRO,
AWB-TEMP,
AWB-AI,
AWB-GW,
AWB-CCT
The options for AE are:
Smart-AE
Global
Center
Center Weig,
BLACK Light,
Front Light
Lower 1/3.
Each camera also has an Wide Dynamic Range option, albeit digital.
What are the differences between each WB option and AE? Which one should i choose in my situation?
