How can I adjust the light settings on Hikvision ColorVu hybrid cameras?

To adjust the light settings on your Hikvision ColorVu hybrid camera, you need to access it through the NVR’s web interface. Follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Access the NVR’s Web Interface:

    • Open a web browser on a computer that is connected to the same network as your NVR.
    • Enter the IP address of the NVR in the address bar (for example, http://192.168.1.100).
    • Log in using your NVR’s username and password. The default username is typically admin.
  2. Navigate to Camera Configuration:

    • Once logged in, click on the Configuration tab located in the top menu.
    • In the left-hand menu, select Camera Management.
    • Find the list of connected cameras. If you're unable to log into the cameras at this point, go to Network > Advanced Settings > Other and enable Virtual Host.
  3. Access the Camera’s Web Interface:

    • Locate the ColorVu camera that you want to configure.
    • Click on the Remote Configuration or Connect link/button next to the camera. This action will open a new window or tab displaying the camera’s web interface.
    • If prompted, log in using the camera’s credentials (the default username is usually admin, and the password is commonly the same as the NVR or was set during the initial configuration).
  4. Configure the Light Settings:

    • Within the camera’s web interface, go to the Configuration section.
    • Navigate to the Image or Video/Audio settings.
    • Look for Supplement Light Settings or Lighting Settings.
    • Adjust the Light Mode (options may include Auto, Manual, Off) along with other related settings such as intensity and scheduling as needed.
    • Don’t forget to save any changes made to apply the new settings.
