BRIGHTNESS
Brightness refers to the brightness of the image.
You can set the brightness value from 1 to 10 to darken
or brighten the image. The higher the value, the
brighter the image is.
EXPOSURE MODE
You can set the EXPOSURE MODE as GLOBAL, or BLC.
GLOBAL
GLOBAL refers to the normal exposure mode which
performs exposure according to the whole image
brightness.
BLC (Backlight Compensation)
BLC (Backlight Compensation) 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.
When BLC is selected as the exposure mode, the BLC
level can be adjusted from 0 to 8.
AGC (Auto Gain Control)
It optimizes the clarity of the image in poor light
conditions. The AGC level can be set as HIGH, MIDDLE,
or LOW. Select OFF to disable the AGC function.
Note:
The noise will be amplified when the AGC is on.
DWDR (Digital Wide Dynamic Range)
The DWDR helps the camera provide clear images even
under backlight circumstances. When both very bright
and very dark areas exist in the image, DWDR balances
the brightness level of the whole image to provide clear
images with details.
Set the DWDR as ON to improve the image quality
under the backlight conditions.
Set the DWDR as OFF to disable the function.
