Camera Title
This allows you to create and display a name for the camera as well
as position it within the image. If you are using this camera with
a Q-See DVR, please note that this display is in addition to - and
separate from - the similar display available through the DVR which
can be turned on or off within the DVR. If the camera title is enabled,
“CAM 01” will also appear in the upper right hand corner. It will
appear, along with the name you chose on any video recorded from
this camera.
To enter text, use the
multi-function button
to navigate to the desired character and then press the button to enter it and the cursor
will advance to the next position in the name. The arrow buttons will allow you to move the cursor within the camera name. You may
enter up to 15 characters.
Use the arrow keys to move within the name. When complete, click on POS to position the name within the camera’s view. Once
you’ve positioned the name, press in on the
multi-function button
to exit.
Mirror
Use the options in this menu to rotate your camera’s view or flip it either vertically or horizontally. This is useful in situations where
your camera cannot be positioned to provide a proper video image in the normal manner.
Motion Detection
Unlike most security cameras, your camera is capable of detecting motion by itself. If you are connecting your camera to a Q-See
security DVR, you will not need to enable this feature as the DVR itself has motion detection capabilities. We do not recommend
enabling motion detection on the camera while connected to a security DVR as it can produce adverse results by obscuring the
recorded video or generating artifacts which the DVR will interpret as motion causing it to record unnecessarily.
If you do chose to use it, there are three individually-configurable areas which you can select to notice motion. By default, items
moving within these areas will have red pixels tracking the object. You can adjust the sensitivity, size, and position of these areas
along with whether the areas themselves will appear on-screen.
Privacy
This allows you to set up areas within the camera’s view that will be
blocked from observation. This may be the location of a combination
lock, keypad or other area that requires privacy. Like Motion
Detection above, use of this feature is not recommended for most
situations when the camera is connected to a security DVR as it will
create artifacts on the video recording which cannot be removed.
However, users may find it to be beneficial feature when multiple
users have administrator-level access to the DVR.

There are eight areas which can be individually configured. Use
Display
to turn each one on or off as desired. Pressing the
multi-
function button
will take you to the submenu where you can adjust the size and position the selected area. You can also choose
from 16 colors for the privacy area to either highlight the area, or to make it less obvious on the display.
Defective Pixel Correction
Like HD displays and monitors, digital cameras can occasionally have defective pixels. A defective pixel is more likely to occur as a
result of mishandling of the camera - whether by being dropped, or attempted vandalism. Using the options within the
Defective
Pixel Correction
(DPC) menu, the camera can be set to automatically compensate for defective pixels and the user can attempt to
correct pixels which are “stuck on.”

Live DPC
, when enabled, allows the camera to automatically
compensate for a pixel that is inoperative. You can adjust the level
of sensitivity, but overcompensating can cause a decline in image
quality.
Static DPC
allows the user to attempt to reset pixels which may be
stuck in either the “on” or “off” position. The camera’s shutter will
need to be set to
AUTO
(see Page 11). You will also need to have a bright flashlight or other light source available to shine directly at
the camera.
