How are you guys getting the profile change from Day to Night happening?

I use the day/night switch on my 54IR's.

I "force" my Day/Night:
Select Customized Scene >
Day > configure settings > Apply
Night>configure settings> Apply
Select Day/Night Switch > Apply

Timer settings can be set further down from the settings shown in the image in the previous post

When I first bought these and set them up I was using that way, but for a reason I can't remember, I stopped. I'll give it another try. Thanks

What do you mean when you say Select Day/Night Switch > Apply, editing the Time Plan Settings?

After you have set the Customized Scene settings, you must apply them for use in Day /Night Switch.

You can then use Time Plan Settings to set a time based schedule, if you choose

edit: When you click on Day/Night Switch, double check that your Day/Night settings that you set under Customized Scene are the same, then click Apply.

I thought day/night relied strictly on the light sensor?

I use Customized Scene

Have been using a LUX sensor to trigger a Dahua API to change day/night modes on a BI system for all cams. While time around sunrise/sunset works, LUX takes into account cloudy vs sunny conditions and switches modes based on light levels vs a preset time.

The mode change is only active during a window based on calculated local sunrise/sunset. The mode changes when a preset LUX value is reached. Works on both Web 4 and Web 5 Dahua cams.
