Exposure Mode - Manual
When the lighting conditions are stable 24 hours a day, the advanced users may consider
using manual exposure mode, to further fine tune the image quality in order to fulfill the
special project requirements. Please note that in most cases, it is highly recommended to
keep the camera in Auto Exposure mode and let the intelligent system of the camera find the
best possible exposure settings instead.
In manual exposure mode, the user can directly manually adjust the signal
Exposure Gain
,
Shutter Speed
, and even on select models. The
White Balance
and
Line Frequency
controls have already been explained in the previous chapter.
WDR is disabled in manual exposure mode.
After changing any of the items above, press

3.10.3.5 OSD/Privacy Mask
The
OSD / Privacy Mask
section allows user to do one of the two on-video operations:
(1) Add text to the upper or lower left corner of the video. This function is called
Text
Overlay
or
On-Screen Display (OSD)
. It is possible to display the camera name, date
and time, IP address or any custom text as Text Overlay.
The text is kept as small as
possible and is not resizable.
The text can be read normally when the video is
enlarged on the display to 1:1 ratio. The purpose of having the text so small is to provide
sufficient legal evidence while blocking the smallest possible area of the video to avoid
valuable video evidence being blocked by text overlay. The text will be embedded into
video and cannot be removed later upon playback or export.
