Getting comfortable
I would like my Dahua cameras to automatically switch from Day to Night mode and vice versa depending on how dark it is outside.
This will occur if you leave the "Profile Management" in "Normal"
However, when in "Normal" it doesn't seem to utilize that the settings that I have selected for my Night configuration. I appears to go into a full auto mode and not use the night mode I created on Conditions>exposure>night. It does use these settings when I have it set at scheduled time from day to night mode.
I had my night mode running last night at 1/2000 shutter to reduce headlight glare, when I switch the profile from "Schedule" to "Normal" the shutter gave up and the camera got super bright again.
1.Can you create custom day and night setups AND have the camera switch between them automatically as it gets dark? Or must I use the schedule tab to switch from day to night and have it use the night profile you create?
I have read the help guide and wiki and it doesn't really define how this works or doesn't work.
