Camera Color/Auto mode change and night focus blur

# PNO-A9081R # Color mode # IR cut filter

1.Installation case

  - Installed PNO-A9081R on sidewalks and roads for day and night security monitoring in residential

    areas

2. Symptom

   - Set the camera to Color mode but automatically convert to Auto mode after a certain period of

     time  

   - Night image becomes out of focus and blurred

3. Cause

   - Camera color setting is forcibly changed to Color -> Auto due to 'IR Cut Filter' setting used by

     VMS linked to camera

   - When using ‘IR Cut filter,’ it blocks infrared rays during the day to prevent color distortion and

     displays images that are close to the true color of the human eye view. However, when used at

     night or in low light condition, the image sensor cannot absorb enough light, which can cause the

     image to become dark and blurry

4. Measures

   - If the image is displayed differently from the one set on the camera, check the camera setting

     including the 'IR Cut Filter' of the linked VMS
