AUTO:
The camera will automatically switch
between DAY and NIGHT mode, according
to the lighting condition. If you press the
SET key, the AUTO sub-menu is selected.
- SMART IR [OFF, ON]: Activate or
deactivate the Smart IR function. This will
reduce the shutter speed, if the image is
overexposed in B&W mode.
- ANTI-SAT. [0-20]: Use the Anti-Saturation
function to adjust the IR intensity to your
needs. A higher value will reduce the IR
intensity.
- AGC THRES [0-20]: Execute the Day/Night switch depending on the AGC level that is
used to increase the brightness of the image. Higher values require a darker illumination
to execute the switch.
- AGC MARGIN [0-20]: Define the difference between the Day/Night & Night/Day switch
based on AGC THRES. Higher values will increase this distance and can help to prevent
continuous switching between Day & Night mode.
- DELAY [MIDDLE, HIGH, LOW]: Set the delay time for switching between COLOUR
and B/W. If set to HIGH, the camera will stay longer in the current mode, before it
switches to the other mode.
6.5. White Balance
The camera needs to find a reference colour temperature, which is a way of measuring
the colour of a light source, for calculating all the other colours. The unit for measuring
this ratio is in degree Kelvin (K). You can select one of the White Balance Control modes
according to the installation condition.
AUTO (Auto Tracking White Balance):
With the Auto Tracking White Balance function, the white balance in a scene will be
automatically adjusted while temperature colour is changing. The AUTO Mode is suitable
for environments with a light source having a colour temperature in the range roughly
from 1800 ~ 10500K.
