During the day, the IR cut filter blocks infrared light so your camera captures accurate, true-color images. At night, it switches to the clear filter to let in maximum light for brighter, more detailed footage. Without it, daytime footage can appear washed out or color-shifted, and nighttime images may lack brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this IR-CUT switcher compatible with my existing M12 lens camera?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — this switcher uses a standard M12 (S-mount) 20mm lens mount holder, making it compatible with a wide range of network cameras, IP cameras, infrared cameras, and bullet cameras. It supports 5 megapixel resolution, so it works well with most modern HD surveillance cameras. Just ensure your camera system supports a 4–12V drive voltage for the switcher to operate correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I wire the IR-CUT dual filter switcher?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Wiring is straightforward. Connect the \u003cstrong\u003ered wire\u003c\/strong\u003e to the positive voltage terminal to switch the unit into IR cut filter mode (for daytime use). Connect the \u003cstrong\u003eblack wire\u003c\/strong\u003e to the negative voltage terminal to switch it to the fully permeable filter (for nighttime use). The drive pulse signal time is 100ms, and the unit uses a 2-Pin × 1.25mm white terminal connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Does the IR-CUT switcher require continuous power to hold its position?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. This dual filter switcher features static energy retention — once switched to either the day or night filter position, it holds that position even when power is no longer applied. This makes it highly energy-efficient and reliable for always-on surveillance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is an IR-CUT dual filter switcher and why do I need one for my CCTV camera?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"An IR-CUT dual filter switcher is a mechanical component that holds two optical filters — an infrared cut filter for daytime use and a fully permeable filter for nighttime use.
