    Illuminator Options

    The second and third generation of Active Deterrence cameras (ID2 and ID3) have three options for night-time illumination.

    • IR Mode - Infrared light with a black & white camera image.
    • Warm Light Mode - White LED spotlight to illuminate the area enough to use 24/7 colour. The brightness of the white LED will adjust based on the amount of ambient light in the area.
    • Smart Illumination Combination of the two above options. The camera remains in black & white infrared mode until a target is detected through SMD or IVS. Once detected, the camera switches to 24/7 color mode, and the white LED spotlight turns on if there isn’t enough ambient light. If no IVS rules are set the illuminator will follow the SMD region settings, ensuring the light only activates in the relevant detection areas for optimal video quality.
