VIDEO FORMAT
You can set the video format as 2MP @ 25 fps, or 2 MP @ 30 fps.
EXPOSURE
Exposure describes the brightness-related parameters, which can be adjusted by EXPOSURE MODE, and
AGC.
EXPOSURE MODE
:
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE to GLOBAL, BLC, HLC, WDR, or HLS.
GLOBAL
: Refers to the normal exposure mode which adjusts lighting distribution, variations, and non-
standard processing.
BLC
(Backlight Compensation): BLC 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.
HLC
(Highlightr Compensation): The camera detects the strong spots (the over-exposure portion of image),
and then reduce the brightness of the strong spots to improve the overall images.
WDR
(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, WDR
balances the brightness level of the whole image and provides clear images with details.
HLS
(Highlight Suppression): If the brightness of a part in the image exceeds the threshold, this part will
become black so that whole image can be clear.
AGC
(Automatic Gain Control): Optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light conditions. The AGC level
can be set to HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW.
Note
: Noise is amplified when increasing the AGC level. The higher the level, the more obvious the
noise.
SLOW SHUTTER
: This feature increases the exposure time of a single frame, which makes a camera more
sensitive to the light so it can produce images even in low lux conditions.
ANTI-BANDING:
This is a camera setting that prevents the appearance of horizontal lines (banding) when
photographing images in low frequency light and high brightness environments.
VIDEO SETTINGS
Move the cursor to VIDEO SETTINGS and click Iris+ to enter the submenu. In this menu you can set the
IMAGE MODE, WHITE BALANCE, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, SHARPNESS, SATURATION, 3 DNR, and MIRROR
configurations.
VIDEO SETTINGS menu
IMAGE MODE
: This feature is used to adjust the image saturation. You can select either STD (Standard) or
HIGH-SAT (High Saturation).
WHITE BALANCE
: White balance, the white rendition function of the camera, is to adjust the color
temperature according to the environment. It can remove unrealistic color casts in the image. You can set
WHITE BALANCE mode to AUTO or MANUAL.
AUTO
: In AUTO mode, white balance is adjusted automatically according to the color temperature of
the scene illumination.
MANUAL
: Use Manual to set the R-GAIN/B-GAIN value from 1 to 255 to adjust the shades of red/
blue color of the image.
BRIGHTNESS
: Brightness refers to the brightness of the image. You can set the BRIGHTNESS value from 1
(darkest) to 9 (brightest).
CONTRAST
: This feature enhances the difference 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 color saturation. The value ranges from 1 to 9.
3 DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Use 3 DNR function to decrease digital noise in the image. Comparing with
the general 2D digital noise reduction, the 3D digital noise reduction function processes the noise between
two frames besides processing the noise in one frame. The noise will be much less and the video will be
clearer.
MIRROR
: This feature is used to reflect the image. You can set Mirror to:
OFF: The mirror function is disabled.
H: The image flips 180° horizontally.
V: The image flips 180° vertically.
HV: The image flips 180° both horizontally and vertically.
SMART LIGHT
Under the SMART LIGHT sub-menu, you can set the mode as AUTO or OFF.
