InVid Illuminate Cameras & White Light
Why does my camera have a white light on it?
When you receive the camera, the white light is off by default. You have three options regarding the white light. The first option is automatic, which allows the camera to turn on the white lights when it gets dark. The second option is to keep the white light off, which is the default setting for the camera. The third option is manual, where you can adjust the intensity and the start and end times of the white light. Keep in mind that with the white lights off, the camera is more discreet, and the picture has a natural look with true colors. However, if the white lights are on, the colors may get washed out, and shadows may appear heavier.
White Light: Automatic
You have the option to enable the camera to automatically activate white lights in low light conditions. Although the image remains clear, the light causes some color distortion.
White Light: Off (Default)
As you can observe, this picture has a much more natural appearance, allowing you to discern the color of the bushes extending beyond the white fence. There is also less shadowing in the picture.
