How do I configure Hikvision Colorvu Hybrid camera's light settings?

Accessing the Camera via the NVR's Web Interface

  1. Access the NVR's Web Interface:
    • Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as the NVR.
    • Enter the IP address of the NVR in the browser's address bar (e.g., http://192.168.1.100).
    • Log in with your NVR’s username and password (default username is admin).
  2. Navigate to the Camera Configuration:
    • After logging in, go to the Configuration tab on the top menu.
    • On the left-hand menu, click on Camera Management.
    • Find the list of connected cameras.  (IF at this point you can't log into the cameras, then Go to NETWORK > ADVANCED SETTINGS > OTHER and ENABLE VIRTUAL HOST)
  3. Access the Camera’s Web Interface:
    • Locate the ColorVu camera you wish to configure.
    • Click on the Remote Configuration or Connect link/button next to the camera. This should open a new window or tab with the camera’s web interface.
    • If prompted, log in with the camera's credentials (default username is admin and the password is usually the same as the NVR or set during the initial configuration).
  4. Configure the Light Settings:
    • Once logged into the camera’s web interface, navigate to the Configuration section.
    • Go to Image or Video/Audio settings.
    • Look for Supplement Light Settings or Lighting Settings.
    • Adjust the Light Mode (e.g., Auto, Manual, Off) and other related settings such as intensity and schedule.
    • Save the changes.
