Noise Reduction
Different level options for 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) include
Low, Mid
and
High
. A higher level of
3DNR generates relatively enhanced noise reduction.
The proprietary Smart Picture Quality (SPQ) video processing method can drastically minimize
motion blur and provides clear images even in low-light environment. The combination of SPQ and
3DNR at different levels further yields exceptional video performance in various conditions.
The Noise Reduction function reduces image noise/snow, enabling the IP camera to deliver clearer
images in low-light conditions. The Noise Reduction is adjustable from
Off,
3DNR Low, 3DNR Mid,
3DNR Hi, SPQ, SPQ + 3DNR Low, SPQ + 3DNR Mid,
to
SPQ + 3DNR Hi.

IR Function
The IR Function setting activates two functions. It activates the IR LED illuminator for use in low-light
conditions or at night and activates
IR mode
, which is the IR Cut (IRC) filter for electronic day/night
operation.
IR Mode
The day/night IRC switching mechanism operates according to the ambient light level rather than
activation of the IR LED mode. The
IR Mode
drop-down menu enables you to select from
Auto/On/Off/Smart
modes. The default mode is
Smart
. Following is an explanation of the four
settings:
Auto Mode
– The camera converts from Day mode (color) to Night mode (monochrome)
automatically at nighttime or in low light conditions. When there is sufficient light, the
camera converts automatically from Night mode to Day mode.
On
– Activates IR mode (puts camera into monochrome/Night mode).
Off
– Deactivates IR mode (puts camera into color/Day mode).
