    Hi Gbi  The RealSense 400 Series cameras can make use of ambient light in a scene to analyze surfaces for depth detail.  In a dimly lit scene though, enabling the camera's IR Emitter component to project a semi-random dot pattern onto the objects in the scene enables the camera to use those dots that are cast onto surfaces as an analyzable texture source instead.

    In a dark scene, external light sources such as an IR illuminator lamp can also be used to provide the camera with light that it can make use of.

    A chart in the link below provides suggestions for minimum exposure-time values to use at particular lux levels for best depth performance.
