The camera is equipped with a motorized IR filter. The 

mechanical IR filter can be removed in low-light or IR 

illuminated applications by software configuration settings.

If Auto switching mode is selected, the camera automatically 

switches the filter depending on the observed light level. The 

switching level is programmable. In Auto switching mode the 

camera prioritizes motion (the camera gives sharp images 

without motion blur as long as the light level permits) or color 

(the camera gives color pictures as long as the light level 

permits). The camera recognizes IR illuminated scenes to 

prevent unwanted switching to color mode. 

There are four different methods of controlling the IR filter:

–

via Bilinx communication, 

–

automatically, based on the observed light levels, or

–

as part of the programmable mode profile.

This camera is equipped with a coaxial communications 

transceiver (also referred to as Bilinx). In combination with VP-

CFGSFT, the camera setting can be changed from any point 

along the coaxial cable. All menus can be accessed remotely 

giving full control of the camera. With this method of 

communication it is also possible to disable the local keys on 

the camera.To avoid loss of communication on an installed 

camera, the Communication On/Off selection is not available 

while using remote control. This function can only be accessed 

with the camera buttons. Bilinx communications can only be 

disabled using the buttons on the camera.

When the Bilinx communications link is active, the buttons on 

the camera are disabled.
