Item
Description
Fixed Shutter*
Shutter Speed is a function that can adjust the duration of the electronic shutter to produce optimum image quality. Select the
shutter speed suitable for your environment.
Slow Shutter
Speed
Select the slow shutter speed suitable for your environment.
A slower shutter speed in dark conditions will help to produce a brighter image, but will produce fewer frames per second,
which may cause images to get blurry during motion.
Exposure Control
This function is used to synchronize the shutter time to the fluorescent light to suppress image flickering.
Exposure Value*
Drag the slider to adjust the exposure level from 0 ~ 4. The higher the value, the more light to let into the camera.
Max. AGC
Set the level of Auto Gain Control to detect and enhance the image signals when the light condition is poor.
The higher the value, the stronger the signals will be enhanced, and the more noise the image will get.
Mirror
Select “ON” to rotate the images horizontally based on your installation situation when necessary.
Flip
Select “ON” to rotate the image 180° when necessary.
Rotate*
This is used when the area you want to monitor is more vertical than horizontal in shape to truly focus on the area you need
to pay attention, such as hallways, staircases and aisles (vertical view mode).
Please note that the image will be rotated 90° counter-clockwise when this function is on. To get the right image, please
rotate the camera 90° clockwise during installation.
Focus Mode*
Select the default focus mode when you’re adjusting the focal length and focus. Choose “Auto” to always automatically
adjust the focus first when the focal length is changed; choose “Manual” to allow manually focus adjustment first when the
focal length is changed.
Denoise
Click and drag the slider to adjust the level to decrease the noise shown in the dark environment. The higher the value, the
higher the denoise level. 0 means off.
IR Control
Select “Auto” to automatically enable IR LEDs at night or in the dark environment, or “OFF” to disable this function.
IR Extend Time*
Set the delay time from 1 ~ 60 in second after which the day and night switch is made, or select 0 to disable this function.
This is used for the environment where the light condition may change suddenly and usually last for a short time, for
example, the entrance of a parking lot. It may cause the day & night mode switching constantly and damage the camera.
With this function, the camera will delay the mode switch at night since the light change is temporary and unnecessary to pay
attention.
IR Enhanced
Select “ON” to enhance IR LEDs performance.
IR Turn On Level*
Select the level for IR light to activate. 0 means off.
White Balance
Process the current image to retain color balance over a color temperature range. Choose the options which best suits your
surveillance area (Incandescent Light / Cool Light / Sun Light / Cloudy / Sun Shade), or simply choose “Auto” to detect the
environment automatically.
Sharpness
Sharpness enhances the clarity of image detail by adjusting the aperture and sharpening the edges in the pictures.
Hold and drag the slider to adjust the level of sharpness. The higher the value, the sharper the image.
Digital WDR
Digital WDR is used to simulate the effect of WDR when users need to increase image recognizability in overexposure and
dark areas. 0 means off.
Day and Night
This function is used to configure the day and night mode:
Day - Always stay in the day mode (color).
Night - Always stay in the night mode (B/W).
Time – Select this option, and click “Day and Night” in blue to enable and set a schedule to enable day and night mode. The selected
time (yellow) will be in the day mode, and the unselected time will be in the night mode.
Sensor – Use the built-in light sensor for day and night detection.
