If GardePro encounters issues with night videos being too dark or the lighting transitioning from dark to bright very slowly, please refer to the following explanation:
1. 940nm No Glow IR LEDs Dynamic Adjustment Technology Explanation
GardePro's Trail Camera utilizes advanced infrared dynamic adjustment technology with 940nm No Glow IR LEDs designed to address common problems of overexposure and light delay during night shooting. This technology intelligently adjusts the intensity of the infrared lights to ensure clear images are captured in various environments.
1.1 Close-Range Animal Detection
When animals are detected in front of the lens, the system automatically activates only a portion of the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs to prevent overexposure, which could result in a white-out effect in the images. By reducing the intensity of the infrared light, GardePro ensures that you can see the details of the animals clearly without losing image quality due to excessive lighting.
1.2 Long-Range Animal Departure
When an animal leaves or moves away from the lens, the system automatically activates 100% of the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs. This full-power infrared illumination can cover a larger field of view, ensuring that objects in front of the lens are clearly captured even in dark environments. This not only enhances image clarity but also expands the shooting range.
2. Issues with Night Video Being Too Dark
If GardePro notices that night videos are too dark, it may be due to the following reasons:
2.1 Animals or Objects Too Close to the Lens:
In this case, the system activates only a portion of the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs to avoid overexposure, which may result in an overall darker image. Additionally, the dark background in night images is often due to strong reflections caused by obstacles near the camera. These reflections can absorb or scatter the infrared light, further deepening the darkness of the background. It is recommended to adjust the camera's position to place it slightly farther away from the area of animal activity to reduce the impact of such reflections.
2.2 Insufficient Ambient Light:
If the shooting environment has no light source at all, even with all 940nm No Glow IR LEDs fully activated, the video may still appear too dark. In this case, consider adding some faint auxiliary light sources to the environment.
3. Issues with Lighting Transitioning from Dark to Bright Very Slowly
The light transition from dark to bright very slowly can be understood as a light delay. This refers to the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs not activating immediately or not being adjusted to the proper intensity upon detecting an animal. It is important to note that light delay may result from the operational principles of the infrared dynamic adjustment technology:
3.1 Smart Adjustment Mechanism:
The infrared dynamic adjustment technology assesses environmental light and the distance of the animal after detection to determine the intensity of the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs to activate. While this smart adjustment effectively avoids overexposure, in some cases, it may result in the actual brightness provided by the infrared lights being lower, leading to a light delay.
3.2 Sensor Sensitivity Settings:
Ensure that the camera's sensor sensitivity settings are correct so that it can quickly detect animal movements and promptly adjust the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs. Proper sensitivity settings will help reduce the duration of the light delay.
3.3 Battery Levels:
Insufficient battery power may slow down the response speed of the 940nm No Glow IR LEDs, resulting in light delays. It is recommended to regularly check and replace batteries to ensure the camera operates in optimal condition.
