Note:

When switching the video output as CVBS, you can set the video format as PAL, or NTSC.

2.2 EXPOSURE

You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, BLC, or WDR.

- GLOBAL

GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighng distribuon, variaons, and non-standard processing.

- BLC (Backlight Compensaon)

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

● WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)

The wide dynamic range helps the camera provide clear images even under backlight circumstances. WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.

2.3 DAY/NIGHT

COLOR, B&W (Black White), and AUTO are selectable for DAY and NIGHT switches.

COLOR

The image is colored in day mode all the me.

B/W

The image is black and white all the me, and it is beer to turn the IR LIGHT on in poor light conditions.

- 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.

You can select the mode as MODE 1, or MODE 2.

MODE 1 is the default mode that can be applied to both indoor condions, and outdoor condions. When selecng the MODE 1, the IR Light has more obvious eects.

- LEVEL

The LEVEL value can be adjusted from 0 to 3. The greater the value is, the more obvious eects are.

AUTO

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

● 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.

2.4 VIDEO SETTINGS

IMAGE MODE

IMAGE MODE is used to adjust the image saturaon, and you can set it as STD (Standard) or HIGH-SAT (High Saturaon).

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 greater 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.

3DNR

The 3DNR funcon can decrease the noise eect and deliver more accurate and sharp image. You can set the 3DNR value from 1 to 9.

AGC (Auto Gain Control)

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

Note:

The noise will be amplified when seng the AGC level. The higher the level is, the more obvious the noise is.

SLOW SHUTTER

SLOW SHUTTER increases the exposure me on a single frame, which makes the camera more sensitive to the light so that it can produce images even in low lux conditions.

You can set the SLOW SHUTTER funcon as OFF, x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, x12, x14, or x16 according to the dierent light conditions.

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.

HV: The image ips 180° both horizontally and vercally.
