1) Click up/down direcon buon to select the item.
2) Click Iris + to conrm the selecon.
3) Click le/right direcon buon to adjust the value of the selected item.

3.1 FORMAT

You can set the format as 4MP@30fps, 4MP@25fps, 2MP@30fps, or 2MP@25ps.

3.2 EXPOSURE

Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which you can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, or DWDR.

- GLOBAL

GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which performs exposure according to the whole image brightness.

• BLC (Backlight Compensaon)

BLC (Backlight Compensaon) compensates light for the front object to make it clear, but this may cause the over-exposure of the background, where the light is strong.

- DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)

DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight circumstances. When both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously exist in the image, DWDR balances the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear images with details.

3.3 DAY/NIGHT

COLOR, BW (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY/NIGHT switch.

COLOR

The image is colored in day mode all the me.

B & W (Black and White)

The image is black and white all the me, and the IR LIGHT turns on in the poor light conditions. You can turn on/o the IR LIGHT and set the value of SMART IR in this menu

DAY/NIGHT MODE ←B & W → IR LIGHT ←ON→ SMART IR ←2→ BACK ←↓ EXIT ←↓ SAVE & EXIT ←↓

Figure 3-3 B & W

- IR LIGHT

You can turn on/o the IR LIGHT to meet the requirements of dierent circumstances.

- SMART IR

The SMART IR funcon is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and prevent the image from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value is, the more obvious eects are.

AUTO

Automacally switch Color, or BW (Black and White) according to actual scene brightness.

You can turn on/o the IR LIGHT, and set the value of SMART IR in this menu.

- IR LIGHT

You can turn on/o the IR LIGHT to meet the requirements of dierent circumstances.

• SMART IR

The SMART IR funcon is used to adjust the light to its most suitable intensity, and prevent the image from over exposure. The SMART IR value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The higher the value is, the more obvious eects are.

• D→ N Threshold (Day to Night Threshold)

Day to Night Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the day mode to the night mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is.

- N→D Threshold (Night to Day Threshold)

Night to Day Threshold is used to control the sensitivity of switching the night mode to the day mode. You can set the value from 1 to 9. The larger the value is, the more sensitive the camera is.

3.4 VIDEO SETTINGS

Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, DNR, AGC and MIRROR are adjustable.

VIDEO SETTINGS BRIGHTNESS CONTRAST SHARPNESS SATURATION DNR AGC MIRROR BACK EXIT SAVE & EXIT 5 5 5 5 5 HIGH OFF

Figure 3-5 VIDEO SETTINGS

BRIGHTNESS

Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the brightness value from 1 to 9 to darken or brighten the image. The higher the value is, the brighter the image is.

CONTRAST

This feature enhances the dience in color and light between parts of an image. You can set the CONTRAST value from 1 to 9.

SHARPNESS

Sharpness determines the amount of detail an imaging system can reproduce. You can set the SHARPNESS value from 1 to 9.

SATURATION

Adjust this feature to change the saturaton of the color. The value ranges from 1 to 9.

DNR (Digital Noise Reducon)

The DNR funcon can decrease the noise eect, especially when capturing moving images in poor light conditions and delivering more accurate and sharp image. You can set the DNR as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW.

AGC

It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. Select OFF to disable the AGC funcon.

Note:

The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on.

MIRROR

OFF, H, V, and HV are selectable for mirror.

OFF: The mirror funcon is disabled.

H: The image ips 180° horizontally.

V: The image ips 180° vercally.
