Getting The Most Out Of The SEE220
What the menu options do
The camera has a comprehensive menu system that allows you to set up the
camera to get the most out of it in different demanding situations, below is a
guide to some of the key functions:
Exposure
This alters the speed of the shutter on the camera and adjusts its sensitivity.
For maximum sensitivity at night, turn the “SENSUP” to 256, however this will
have some “motion trail” on the image in low light due to the long exposure
time of the camera. In automatic mode, the Sens Up is set at 8X and suits
most applications with good results.
Sens-up
Sens-up technology makes the camera more sensitive to light giving better
quality images in low light situations.
d-WdR (digital Wide dynamic Range)
Digitally adjusts the exposure in areas of the frame to maintain optimum
levels in both the dark and bright areas of an image.
Backlight
This helps make items in front of a bright scene (such as a window on a
bright sunny day) clearer to see by increasing their brightness and making
the background darker.
White Balance
This allows the colour adjustment of the camera to be set up so objects
appear a natural colour.

day & Night
This setting allows you to lock the camera in a colour or B&W mode or have
it automatically switch. You can also enable the smart IR function that limits
IR glare.
NR (Noise Reduction)
Noise Reduction is the process of removing noise from the video signal by
applying a digital filter. 2D noise reduction reduces noise in the foreground
of the image where as 3D noise reduction reduces noise in both the
foreground and the background of the image.
LSC (Lens Shading Correction)
Used to correct the image when it appears dark or blurred around the edges.
Mirror
Allows the camera’s picture to be flipped along its horizontal or vertical axis.
Enabling the correct camera picture to be displayed when used for different
applications including as a reversing aid.
Motion
Allows the camera to display a warning when it detects video motion in the image.
Privacy
Allows the user to “block out” areas in the picture so that the installation complies
with the Data Protection Act and avoids infringing other people’s privacy rights.
RS485
Allows the camera’s communication settings to be changed.
