In the camera settings, under Event -> Arming Schedule: set the times you want it to be on. I have mine set at 00:00-06:00 and 17:30-24:00 which works for my area, though as daylight savings kicks in later in the year it will likely need adjustment. I don't use the HikVision NVR though so not sure if this also means you wont get alerts during this time, but if using BlueIris events are done server side using BI/Deepstack and work both for day/night.114 working now and i have the smart light activation but it is also coming on during the day? am i missing something obvious? everything set to auto and in a bright area..... presumed light would only come on when night is detected? - scene set as normal.
Gotcha, thanks for explaining further.
I also don't use an NVR as have local SD card (because why not ) and a Qnap Nas.
I'll play around.
Thanks
That is an IR camera so B&W at night only, if you want colour at night along with PTZ, you may want to look into DS-2DE3A400BW-DEWould the DS-2DE4A425iW-DE be the best PTZ alternative to the DS-2CD2347G2-L(U)?

I have a lot of ambient light so Darkfighter should allow some limited color. Here's an example similar to my lighting at night. Also, the DS-2DE3A400BW-DE doesn't have zoom or auto-tracking.
Here are two screenshots comparing a DS-2CD2347G1-L (ColorVu) next to a DS-2CD2346G2-ISU/SL (Darkfighter). I am quite impressed!
You would need to be a Parkour to get onto that balcony anyway
Let me get this right they break into your above neighbours to go through their apartment to get into your apartment by jumping from the 10th floor to you on the 9th floor.

Can you please provide the settings used in each camera and the lens details for reference? The exposure times in particular.
i have a couple of 2cd2386g2 cams and the low light performance is much better than the 2cd2346g2 simply because it uses a larger image sensor. I’d say the 2cd2386g2 would be a better benchmark reference to the ColorVu.
