What Should I Do If Night Vision Switching Is Abnormal?
If the camera does not switch properly between day and night modes, please check the current night vision settings and behavior.
Abnormal switching may cause the image to remain black and white or not match the lighting conditions.
Automatic Infrared Night Vision Mode
- In this mode, the camera automatically switches to infrared (black-and-white) view:
- At night without lighting
- During daytime with poor lighting
- If the image remains black and white in strong daylight, the switching may be abnormal
Automatic Full-Color Night Vision Mode
- In this mode, the camera automatically switches to full-color view:
- At night without lighting
- During daytime with poor lighting
- The image should remain in color under normal conditions
Troubleshooting Steps
- Turn off the current night vision mode in camera settings
- Check whether the image returns to normal display
What Night Vision Modes Are Available?
The W315 camera supports two night vision modes to adapt to different lighting conditions.
You can choose between infrared night vision and full-color night vision depending on your monitoring needs.
Infrared Night Vision
- Automatically activates when ambient light falls below a certain threshold
- The camera switches to black-and-white (infrared) mode
- Infrared lights turn on in low-light conditions and turn off when lighting improves
- The device returns to normal color mode during sufficient daylight
Full-Color Night Vision
- Uses built-in fill lights to improve lighting conditions
- Captures color images even in low-light environments
- Ensures full-color monitoring both day and night
What Is Vehicle Recognition?
Vehicle Recognition is a smart detection feature that identifies vehicles within the camera’s monitoring area.
When enabled, the camera will automatically detect vehicles and send notifications to your mobile device.
How It Works
- Detects and identifies vehicles in the monitoring screen
- Sends real-time alerts to your phone when a vehicle is detected
Available Settings
- Draw an attention area to define where vehicle detection is active
- Set the monitoring time period and detection sensitivity
Note
- Botslab is continuously improving the accuracy and performance of vehicle recognition
