Video attributes changes for day or night recording

Recommended Posts

Hi

In order to achieve the best image quality for both day and night recording, I have been manually tweaking the Video attributes (changing brightness and contrast) on my camera settings at dusk to achieve a better image at night when using IR. Unfortunately, I have to manually change these back at sunrise to achieve the best settings for daytime.

 

Can anyone advise on whether I can automate this process? Is this built into the geo system as an option or alternatively, can I run a script to perform this process automatically?

 

Any advice appreciated, thanks

I use a windows macro recorder to change the settings on my PTZ between day and night.

This is a very powerful program, but the more functions you use, the more complex it gets. For example, you can tell it to do different things depending on whether or not a given button in on screen. But to do that, you have to know how to do screen captures and save an image of the button and then you have to write a program in their script language. There are good examples on their web site, but if you have never done any programming before, that feature is probably not going to be useful to you.

You probably could.

 

In the \Windows\GeoMulti.ini file:

 

Example:

 

[Camera 2]

InitOff_Analog=1

Naming=Camera 2

Sensitivity_highRes=5

UDPBrightness=144

UDPContrast=128

UDPSaturation=128

UDPHue=128

InitOff=1

bGeoObj=0

bRecAdv=0

RecQuality=5

Codec=5

 

You would need to restart Geo for the changes to take effect.
