4.3 Night Vision Modes

The cameras feature Smart Dual-Light technology, offering both infrared (B&W) and full-color night vision. In low-light conditions, the cameras can automatically switch to IR mode.

Your DVR supports both analog and IP cameras. You can convert analog channels to IP channels to expand your system's capabilities. Note that disabling an analog channel frees up one IP channel. Once an analog channel is switched to IP, its BNC interface will no longer output images.
