FLIR MPX cameras have an integrated OSD menu that allows you to configure camera settings related to exposure, white balance, day / night settings and other camera image adjustments. You can also configure advanced picture correction features such as Wide Dynamic Range, Digital Noise Reduction and more.

The OSD menu appears as a text overlay on top of the camera image. In order to view the menu, you must connect the camera to a monitor.

1.1 Accessing the OSD Menu

FLIR MPX cameras feature an OSD control stick on the camera cable for easy access and configuration of menu items.

To access the OSD menu:

  • Connect the camera to a power supply. See the quick start guide provided with your camera for details.
  • Connect the camera to a monitor or compatible DVR.

2.3 Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

WDR fixes harsh contrast between bright and dark sections of the camera image. WDR is recommended for applications where light intensity varies throughout the day, or scenes with distinctly light and dark areas.

2.4 High Light Compensation (HLC)

HLC darkens extremely bright areas of the camera image to ensure clear renderings of objects in the scene. This is recommended for scenes with extremely bright areas as well as nighttime images with intense brightness (for example, to identify a vehicle with bright headlights).

  2. Select LEVEL, then move the control stick / to configure. Setting a lower level increases the black mask area, auto exposure gain, and noise level in the camera image. It is recommended to keep the HLC level at the default setting.

2.5 Back Light Compensation (BLC)

BLC tones down areas of the image with strong background lighting to create clearer, more detailed renderings of objects in the foreground. BLC is recommended for local light compensation applications, meaning that strong backlit conditions will occur in the same area of the camera image, such as a doorway.

  1. Move the control stick / to configure the values for H-POS and V-POS to affect the horizontal and vertical position of the active area, then H-SIZE and V-SIZE to affect the horizontal and vertical size of the active area. The active area should cover a brightly-lit area where objects are expected to appear. For example, if the camera image shows 2 floodlights and a doorway, the active area should cover the doorway only.

2.6 Digital Noise Reduction (DNR)

The camera features 2 types of noise reduction: 2D temporal noise reduction and 3D spatial noise reduction. DNR reduces the background noise in a low luminance environment. Removing noise from the camera image reduces your recording file size and reduces the appearance of graininess.
