dcam 0 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way of raising the threshold from which the camera changes from day mode to night mode . This camera gives excellent image quality in low light conditions but it changes way too early and doesn't make use of these qualities. If I put it in permanent DAY mode the IR illumination will not activate when it gets really dark and when I put it in Night mode I have a B/W camera 24/7 I have tried all the settings and nothing makes a difference . The only thing I can do is put the Day/Night setting to "Schedule" and it then switches to Night from a certain time at night . Any Ideas ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can enlarge the hole around the photo sensor..user erkme73 on camit has instructions on how to do this for the 2432 (same design)...the modification works.

normel 0 Posted March 5, 2015 There is a option in the IR menu, where you can set sensibility from 1 to 7 .. is this to determine how fast the IR goes on... so if you set 1, the ir will go on when its reAaaallyy dark, and with 7 it will go on more fast( with little dark )? please correct me if i am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
