G3 ColorVU Night Settings

[frank123]

I'm now working on the night settings on my G3 ColorVU cameras (DS-2CD2387G3-LIS2UY/SL). When setting Day/Night Switch to 'Night' does that make the White Supplement Light stay on all the time and in full brightness? (I like to leave the light on all night - not in 'Smart' mode)

When my security light turns on, will the White Supplement Light still stay on and remain in full brightness?

Also, should I change the exposure time from 1/50 to 1/25 and lower the 'Limit Gain' from 100 to around 70. At the moment, when someone walks at night, there is over exposure.

Thank you

You need atleast 1/60 at night. I go for 0-6. Unfortunately, you bought an 8MP camera with just a 1/1.8 sensor.

Not sure about your lights, I don’t own one, but if overexposed , going from 1/50 to 1/25 will be worse.

As mentioned, you need faster shutter not slower. 1/120 is generally needed to remove most ghosting of moving targets.

But if you just want it “bright” set it to Auto
