Figure 6.3: AI Human Detect provides more accurate alarms by focusing on human shapes, reducing false alerts.

6.4 Night Vision Modes

The camera offers multiple night vision options for clear monitoring in dark environments.

• White Light Mode (Color Night Vision): Activates the white LED lights to provide full-color night vision, illuminating the area.
• Double Light Vigilance Mode: Combines IR and white light. The camera uses IR for general monitoring and automatically switches to white light (and color vision) upon detecting motion, acting as a deterrent.
