I'm having difficulty understanding how the supplemental light works on my Colorvu (DS-2CD2347G1-L and DS-2CD2T47G1-L) cameras. I've tried to improve the image quality by reducing the gain of the camera. However, for some reason now the supplemental light will no longer turn on automatically) when it gets dark. If I increase gain again, the light will turn on. Can anyone give me an idea of how this is supposed to work? Thanks
 
increase the Gain until light comes on, then try turning up the shutter speed in small chunks and watching if the overexposed parts now look better, rather than lowering the Gain.
I don't have this camera.
My LED's are dimmable onmy Color4kT-180...but I still have to adjust gain and shutter.

Thanks. The issue is the LEDs aren't turning on at all when it gets dark--The picture is just black. When I had higher gain, it seemed to work correctly.

I was reducing gain to try to reduce the noise in the image. I'm ok with a slower shutter speed since this camera is only monitoring a pedestrian area.
