pfissure Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 hi everyone, i have a DS2 mini and in its web-based configuration utility there is an option for day/night mode. you can set it to Always Day, Always Night, or automatic. when i set it to automatic the DS2 never switches to Day mode. and that means that during the day its effectively a black-and-white camera. if instead i set it to always Day then i get color during the day but pitch black at night. so my qeustion is. first, is it possible to schedule the switch from day to night so as to over-ride the automatic? if not, what can i do to make the DS2 more sensitive to daylight so that it switches to Day mode when i have it on automatic?

Studio5150 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I up this port, because I have the opposite, it is in day mode and the night does not pass in sight of night. (And I do not see anything ) And is there a way to control the contrast of the camera because it is very dark (even during the day).THX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivam Paw Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Ok so I couldn't find a solution to this so here's a driver that lets you programatically set the day/night mode of a DS2 camera. Enter the DS2 IP in properties and then just head over to the programming commands to sort out when you want it to turn to day/night mode. I've set mine up using the scheduler to set to day at sunrise and night at sunset. (It uses the default admin and password of admin/t0talc0ntr0l4! so if you are using a different one it won't work because i hardcoded them in...if you need another version which lets you set that in properties lemme know but im guessing this will suffice for most/all?) jooced_ds2_day_night_scheduler.c4z South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds really neat. Thanks. I will definitely give it a try tonight!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivam Paw Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The driver has been updated and uploaded here: With an extra command. Any other commands that you think could be useful, please post in that topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
