This image demonstrates the camera's capability for 24/7 surveillance, showing a house under normal conditions and then with an overlay indicating night vision monitoring.

6.2 Backlight Compensation

The camera incorporates backlight compensation technology to improve image clarity in scenes where a bright light source is behind the subject, preventing the subject from appearing too dark.

This image compares two scenarios: one where backlight causes subjects to be underexposed (top) and another where backlight compensation technology improves visibility and clarity of subjects (bottom).

7. Manutenzione

• Pulizia della lente: Gently wipe the camera lens with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or smudges. For stubborn dirt, use a lens cleaning solution designed for optical surfaces.
• Pulizia degli alloggi: Clean the camera's metallic housing with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or strong chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
