In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable the white light feature on your camera using the Hik-Connect mobile app. This feature is a game-changer for nighttime surveillance, allowing you to enjoy clear, color recordings without needing a TV or monitor for setup.

What You’ll Need

Before we begin, make sure:

  • Your Hikvision HD Analog Hybrid Camera is set up and connected to a DVR.
  • Your mobile phone and DVR are connected to the same local LAN or Wi-Fi network.
  • You have the Hik-Connect app installed on your phone.

Step 1: Add Your DVR to the Hik-Connect App

  1. Open the Hik-Connect app and go to the “Device” section.
  2. Tap the “+” icon and select “Online Device.”
  3. The app will automatically detect and display the IP address of your DVR connected to the LAN network.
  4. Select your DVR device and tap “Add.”
  5. Enter a preferred alias name, along with your DVR admin username and password, then tap “Save.”
  6. Once added, the device will appear on the Home Screen tab, allowing you to view your cameras.

Step 2: Enable the White Light Feature

  1. Locate the camera for which you want to enable the white light feature and enlarge its display for easier access.
  2. Below the camera window, tap the “PTZ” icon to open the PTZ controller screen.
  3. Next, tap the “Iris +” icon to access the Hybrid Camera’s OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. This menu lets you adjust various settings, including enabling the white light feature.

Step 3: Configure Lighting Settings

  1. In the OSD menu, navigate to the “Lighting Settings” section using the PTZ controller’s up and down icons.
  2. Tap the “Iris +” icon to enter the “Lighting Settings” menu.
  3. Under “Lighting Mode,” select the “White Light” option using the PTZ controller’s left and right icons.

Step 4: Save and Apply Settings

  1. Once you’re satisfied with the changes, look for the “Save & Exit” option.
  2. Tap the “Iris +” icon again to confirm and apply the settings.
  3. Your camera will now use the white light feature during nighttime or low-light conditions.

Step 5: Test the Feature

With the setup complete, your camera will automatically activate the white light when it detects darkness or low-light conditions. This enhancement provides a clear, vibrant color feed on the live screen, significantly improving visibility at night and making it easier to identify details that would otherwise appear in black and white.
