Setting operation Day and Night settings

[JPmedia]

I’m curious the ways to change Day and Night settings under normal operation. I know it can be done manually from the NVR web service and camera web service

What methods are used to change between the 2 automatically? I would think that the setting could be accessed similarly to the above through the web service pages, no?

I ask because I setup the LPR cameras through the camera web page using the scheduling while on the bench in my office. It was in the Day/color mode when I installed it and for some reason, it switched to B&W mode in the mid-afternoon. It wasn’t scheduled to switch until 6 PM at the time in October.

I tried to access the camera webpage remotely through the NVR, but I guess my NVR is too old and doesn’t support the newer web service. I had to go to camera settings from the NVR webpage and manually set the mode to “Day/color”. How do I get back to the scheduled Day/Night switching?

You need to access the camera Web GUI

Show your NVR camera registration page. Are the cameras plugged into the NVR directly?

There is a blue IE icon to access the camera. Any Dahua NR since at least 2016 will have them

Cameras are plugged into the NVR directly.

Below is the NVR Can reg page and the LPR West cam web page when selected

I would imagine that I could access the camera Web Gui by unplugging it from the NVR and connecting it through a POE injector to the computer, yes?

If so, how do I set the changeover to scheduled again?

I think you just have a browser issue.
Try using Edge in IE mode, or Pale Moon 32

Could be, but why does the web page display correctly if the camera is connected directly to the computer? It's only when it is connected to the NVR that the page does not display.

By the way, although the NVR is Dahua based, it is a Lorex branded model and Lorex has been known to NOT co-operate well with non-Lorex cameras. So maybe that is the issue?

I dont know,, dont own Lorex. Id try the browser

Okay, figured out how to run IE mode and it does display correctly. Below screen shots are what I have for settings. Any thoughts or suggestions?

When house a schedule, you have it set right.
Day color
If you choose night from the pull dune it should show B&W

I dont see a problem

Yes, Day is color and Night on the pull down is B&W. Thanks for your help

I presume setting up the Day and Night modes on standard cameras you wouldn't use schedule as there is only one main setting which can't set for all times of the year, yes? What is the best way to switch between the two settings for standard cams? Auto? Also, there is Normal, Day and Night settings, what is normal used for?

Normal is a constant profile

Night/Day or Auto if thats all you have, is what you would want. However I run ALL of my cameras on schedule. Yes it means spending 30 minutes once every 3 months to adjust it, but it works . Even Day/Night has its issues as you are relying on the light sensor on the camera to decide when its dark with no setting to adjust that.
