LENS ADJUSTMENT 

Your Am52RM camera is equipped with the motorized 2.8-12mm lens. To achieve 

desired view, start by adjusting the lens angle along the 3 axis by panning/tilting the 

lens assembly and rotating camera base. The lens zoom and focus can be adjusted 

using camera’s built-in OSD through a service monitor, through i3’s encoder/standalone 

DVR IE interface or through SRX-Pro interface. Follow instructions below.

on-board joystick: to navigate within camera menus.

• 

SMART D-ZOOM: 

The camera can be programmed to zoom 

into one of two pre-configured areas. 

Note: SMART D-ZOOM function is disabled when D-ZOOM 

is ON.

•  SELECT: Select AREA1 or AREA2.

•  DISPLAY: Set selected AREA to ON to enable. Move the 

Joystick in UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT directions to reposition 

selected area on the screen. Press the Joystick button to save the new area 

position.

•  D-ZOOM: Set the digital zoom level to one of the presets: x2.0, x2.1 - x3.9, x4.0 

- x62.0. 

Note: As the D-ZOOM number increases, the physical area on screen will 

become smaller. You may want to re-position the adjusted area on the screen after 

changing D-ZOOM setting.

•  DEFAULT: Select DEFAULT to reset SMART D-ZOOM settings to factory defaults.

• 

NEG IMAGE: 

Set the NEG IMAGE to ON to show a negative of the camera’s video 

image (darkest and lightest areas of the image appear reversed).

• 

PRIVACY: 

Set up to 8 separate privacy (masking) areas to 

block off areas of the camera’s field of view. 

IMPORTANT: 

Video hidden behind the set Masking Area will be 

permanently lost.

• 

SELECT: 

Select one of 8 available privacy area shapes 

(AREA1-AREA8) that best suits your needs.

• 

DISPLAY:

 Select the type of image that will block off the 

area: OFF (hide selected AREA), COLOR (solid color), INV. 

(Inverse colors inside the selected area/negative image), or 

MOSAIC (apply blurring effect to the live image). To adjust area’s position or shape/

size, select DISPLAY TYPE and press the Joystick button. Continue pressing the 

Joystick button to switch between POSITION/TOP LEFT/TOP RIGHT/BOTTOM LEFT/

BOTTOM RIGHT options. The area’s size is adjusted by re-positioning each corner 

of the selected shape. Use the Joystick to move each corner on the screen or to 

reposition adjusted privacy area.

• 

COLOR: 

Set the COLOR value from 0 to 15 to use one of the 16 available colors.

• 

TRANS: 

Set the area Transparency value from 0 to 3. (0=transparent, 3=opaque).

• 

DEFAULT: 

Select DEFAULT to reset PRIVACY settings back to factory defaults.

• 

DEFECT: 

An image sensor may have permanent bright or dark 

pixels, called dead pixels, due to physical defects. These dead 

pixels are much brighter/darker than their neighboring pixels 

and will create noise on the video image. DPC (Dead Pixel 

Correction) is a function that is designed to remove these dead 

pixels dynamically from the live video (LIVE DPC) or based on 

saved predefined pixel locations (STATIC DPC).

• 

LIVE DPC: 

Set LIVE DPC function to OFF, AUTO, or ON. When set to ON, LIVE DPC 

LEVEL can be configured.

•  LEVEL: When LIVE DPC is set to ON, set the LEVEL value from 0 to 100.

• 

STATIC DPC: 

Set to ON to execute STATIC DPC function 

to locate and record the positions of all dead pixels on the 

image sensor (CMOS).

•  START: Cover the lens or close the iris to prevent light 

from entering the lens and press the Joystick key to 

launch STATIC DPC function.

•  LEVEL: Set the LEVEL value from 0 to 60.

•  SENS-UP: Set the SENS-UP value to: x2, x4, x6, x8, x10, 

x15, x20, x25, or x30.

•  AGC: Set the AGC value from 0 to 8.

• 

OUTPUT MODE: 

Select the video aspect ratio output: either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratios. 

16:9 aspect ratio must be used whenever HD-TVI output is used. 

Use 4:3 aspect ratio only when connecting CVBS cable directly to the HVR’s BNC panel. 

Note: True WDR is not available in 4:3 aspect ratio. 

IMPORTANT: 

When using the CVBS stream for spot monitor and HD-TVI stream for 

recording (16:9 ratio), remember that CVBS stream follows the main aspect ratio setting. 

If the spot monitor’s native aspect ratio is 4:3, the image will appear distorted.

MENU > SETUP > ADJUST

ADJUST setup contains settings for SHARPNESS, MONITOR, and LSC functions.

• 

SHARPNESS: 

Set image sharpness value from 0 to 15.

• 

MONITOR: 

Choose the appropriate monitor type: LCD or CRT.

• 

CRT:

 Configure BLACK LEVEL, BLUE GAIN and RED GAIN. 

Values range from -30 to +30.

• 

LCD:

 Configure GAMMA, BLUE GAIN and RED GAIN.

•  GAMMA level options: AUTO, USER, USER+Y, 

0.45-1.00 (in 0.05 increments).

•  BLUE GAIN: Set BLUE GAIN value from 0 to 100.

•  RED GAIN: Set RED GAIN value from 0 to 100.

• 

LSC: 

Set LSC function to ON or OFF.

 

Lens Shading Correction provides brightness 

compensation for scenes where image appears bright in the centre and darker around 

the edges. LSC equalizes image brightness to the edge of the field-of-view.
