    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    Day/Night settings on new 5442 cams

    not trying to hijack, but here is the scene just before & after switching. The night/BW image is too blown out and there's plenty of light for a good color image long before the switch. This is using my settings above. On edit: another screenshot from full dark with some rain/fog streaks...
