TH ES is a threshold level to switch from NIGHT to DAY.
Due to the nature of WD the image level of the scene is controlled down
and camera would not switch to DAY even though the ambient is bright
enough. Increase the value if it stays in B/W and is required to switch to
DAY. Too high value may make IC repeating between NIGHT<-->DAY.
In that case, reduce the value a little and try all of the above mentioned.

T ON B/W determines whether a color burst signal keeps output or
eliminated when camera switches to B/W.
If set to ON, B/W video signal contains color burst signal and is more
compatible with the color equipment but shows the same resolution as color
video.
If set OFF, the color burst signal is removed from B/W video and shows better
resolution.
arely the compatibility problem may occur with the color equipment.
