5.1.1.1.7 Illuminator
This configuration is available only when the device is equipped with illuminators. Common illuminators are classified into IR lights, white lights, laser lights, and full-spectrum lights. Different device models support different types of illuminators.

This section is for reference only, and might differ from the actual interface.
IR Light/White Light
These are the conditions for using IR light and white light. When the day & night mode is set to B/W, the monitoring screen is black and white. In this case, IR
light is used. When the day & night mode is set to Color, the monitoring screen is colored. In this case, white
light is used. When the day & night mode is set to Auto, the monitoring screen color changes with the ambient
light condition, and the illuminator varies with the monitoring screen. In B/W mode, the IR light is turned on; in Color mode, the white light is turned on. Full-spectrum IR light supports the infrared IR light and white-light IR light at the same time.

Some models are equipped with photoresistor that can turn on different types of illuminators based on the ambient brightness. Step 1 Select Setting > Camera > Conditions > Conditions > Illuminator.

Fill Light

IR Mode White Mode
Smart Illumination

When the device is equipped with illuminators, you can configure the fill light mode, including IR mode, white light and smart illumination. IR Mode: Enable the IR light, and then the white light
is disabled. You can only capture black and white images after enabling this function.
The IR light is turned off for cameras with low power consumption by default. Turn on the IR light if necessary. White Mode: Enable the white light, and the IR light is disabled. You can capture clear scene image after enabling this function. Smart Illumination: This function is mainly used at night. Smart illumination applies IR mode in most situations. When an event occurs (for example, motion detection and human detection), the camera automatically switches to white light mode to link image capturing and video recording under the full color mode. The white light turns off when the event stops, and then the mode switches to IR mode according to the ambient brightness.

Mode

Manual Timing

The status of the illuminator mainly depends on time and environment. If the smart illumination is triggered at night and the event continues during the day, the illuminator configured for the daytime will be turned off. Adjust the brightness of illuminator manually, and then the system will supply illumination to the image accordingly.
This function is available on select models. Enable different light types in different time periods according to actual condition. You can set four periods with different light types.

Description
The system adjusts the illuminator intensity according to the ambient lighting condition. Some devices support setting the brightness upper limit and sensitivity of the illuminator. Sensitivity: The higher the sensitivity setting, the
higher the brightness can turn on the illuminator when the actual scene darkens. When the actual scene becomes bright, a higher brightness is required to turn off the illuminator. Brightness upper limit: If the filling light is too bright, the center of the image might be overexposed, and the actual image cannot be seen clearly. It is suggested to adjust the brightness upper limit according to the actual scene. The value range is 0100, and the default is 100.
The system adjusts the illuminator intensity according to the ambient lighting condition.
Only infrared IR light supports the Smart IR mode.
The system adjusts the illuminator intensity automatically according to the change of the ambient light. You can configure light compensation manually to fine-tune the brightness of the illuminator. When the ambient light turns darker, the system
turns on the near light first, if the brightness is still not enough, then it turns on the far light. When the ambient light turns brighter, the system dims far light until they are off, and then the near light. When the focus reaches certain wide angle, the system will not turn on far light in order to avoid over-exposure in short distance.
In ZoomPrio mode, IR light and white light are supported, and IR light is selected by default. Illuminator is off.
You can select IR Light or White Light.
